What other rights should we give up? You seem pretty selective.
For your information there are a lot of folks who continue to give a damn about their country and rights.
Hey, I don't give a damn. If it fires bullets I don't think you should be allowed to have it.
QFT. People in other countries have to be shaking their heads, "those crazy Americans, shooting each other again. What a crazy place!"
Yeah, I said bullshit, and that's what you are offering. As far as I'm concerned your having a gun does not make you a member of a well armed militia. What's the point of this militia? To protect you from a government gone mad? That's science fiction, dude. Fuck your 2nd amendment right to own a gun. That's antiquated and very much open to interpretation. We are perfectly capable of getting rid of the weapons on the streets, in your drawer or closet or safe, in your glove compartment, in your pants and the bullets that are bringing down our innocent or not so innocent citizens.Great opinion regarding the bullshit statement...too bad isn't based with supporting facts.
Obama has nothing to lead as the right to bear arms is a right and an amendment in the Constitution of the United States. Other than leading a change to this amendment via Congressional vote he would be dictating....big difference.
Reference previous post as it applies here as well:
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Gun control = infringing
This thread needs to be closed and anyone who posted banned...
I'm well aware that Pakistan is another crazy place, without a doubt.Been to Pakistan lately?
I'm not much into giving up rights, but I do not believe in your right to have a gun.What other rights should we give up? You seem pretty selective.

I haven't. Have you? Or are you merely repeating the media?
One simple thing that can be done is a renewed emphasis of the racial profiling of white males. These white motherkillers have been skating by because of past demographics.
Well, until North Korea perfects a nuclear weapon.
By the way, I guess you didn't hear about the knife-wielder in Chenpeng Village today, did you?
I'm not saying that bad stuff doesn't happen in Asia. Of course, bad sh*t happens everywhere. It's not at the same level though. Yes, there are knife wielding maniacs in Asia. Yes, rape occurs in Asia. Yes, people get robbed and mugged in Asia.
It just seems that extreme violence is happening much too often in America and it's because of guns. Columbine, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia Tech, etc.. Could someone have killed these many people with a knife? I highly doubt it.
I challenge you to show me one developed Asian county that has had as many mass shootings as America.

Yep, and someone's going to fall for it in three, two, one...Hard trolling in play....
A government carrying out a genocide is not the same as a nutjob who shoots up a school. Just saying.The killing fields of Cambodia; made Stalin look like a sissy.
Actually, yes I have....not a pretty place. The people there don't have a lot of rights either. Pretty much organized chaos actually.

We are talking a lot about rights here. What rights are talking about? In America, there is a rule or a regulation for almost everything. I doubt Pakistan has similar restrictions. In terms of day to day rights, I'm not really sure if Pakistan is worse than the US. In certain parts of the US, one cannot smoke even on a sidewalk. Are there such similar rules in Pakistan?
As to guns, they don't kill people. It's people who kill people. Our society, along with the rest of the world's, are totally out of balance in how we live our lives. We follow others while being unwilling to be better persons. People now blame others and not themselves. They hate others without even considering that they are their own worst enemy. A guy living in a village in Pakistan should not logically hate anyone in the US since he hasn't met them. However, his friends or his religious leader or his media outlet have such influence over him that he believes the nonsense. The same holds true for everyone else.
As for guns, like I said above, they are not the problem. There is a reason who so many people buy guns: they are bored, scared, paranoid or whatever. As for buying a gun for self defense, this argument is somewhat similar to the nuclear weapons argument. Country X develops a nuclear program because Country Y has them. Then Country Z will have them since Country Y has them. Eventually, everyone will have guns in that scenario. Is that any better?
If people become better then there will be no need for guns or weapons. Instead, our idea of better seems to be getting more wealth, power, land, education, technology, etc. All of that leads to violence. No way around it.
I'm being pretty specific about American rights for the majority of this discussion. Many in Pakistan and elsewhere lack basic human rights.

I feel very safe in South Korea. I can walk virtually anywhere in Korea and I never have to worry about my safety. In the future, could we see a mass exodus of US citizens who move to Asia because they simply want their children to attend school without the fear of being gunned down? D:
Please describe them to me. I'm being serious since I do not know. Do you mean right to vote and right to free speech? The right to live freely? To you they may seem like basic human rights but they might not to the Pakistanis. What you see as being chaos may seem like every other day to a Pakistani. Our terrorist might be their hero. It's all relative.
