^ To be fair, he does, unprompted, go on to call it "a crime of hate".

^ This may be true, but the percentage or per capita statistics would make for a better comparison between the two countries. I don't have the figures, but until told otherwise, I'll believe what I read on wiki:

Quote:

Levels of gun violence vary greatly among geographical regions, countries, and even subnationally. The United States has the highest rate of gun related deaths per capita among developed countries, though it also has the highest rate of gun ownership and the highest rate of officers

Un-f*cking-believable.

Quote:

Houston-based lawyer Charles Cotton, listed as a national NRA board member on the gun lobby's website, made the comments in an online chat room he administers called texaschlforum.com, a discussion board devoted to gun rights and firearms issues.

In an online thread about Wednesday night's mass shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Church in Charleston, Cotton said that one of the nine people slain, church pastor and Democratic state Senator Clementa Pinckney, had voted against legislation in 2011 that would have allowed concealed possession of handguns in restaurants, day-care centers and churches.

"Eight of his church members who might be alive if he had expressly allowed members to carry handguns in church are dead," Cotton wrote.

That dude should be stripped of every political power he has if he thinks that by opposing a law that allowed people to carry handguns, that he is responsible for the lives of those eight people and evidently his own life. It's pathetic. It's ignorant. It's a shame because I can almost see the look of surprise by millions of Americans who read that and think that he's right. People that have that much power in this country but are that callous and in ways evil, are what makes this country a joke politically.

It don't work like that. There is criteria for owning a gun. The problem is, I can call 3 people and buy a gun off the street right now (at 6:49 am no less) Or I can go to a gun show and buy an unregistered weapon from the right vendor if I so choose. Also the problem isn't the responsible people who own guns its the lunatics that know they can also hit up that same vendor or those 3 people I know or whatever so there is no way for the government to see if these people have diminished capacity.

Also man, I can walk though any hood in the US and not have any problem whatsoever. (I have lived in various hoods in the Us, North South East and West.) People are not looking to see what color you are, or if you are armed they are looking for weakness.

Currently the federal government cannot gain access to your medical records if you seek to purchase a firearm. To my knowledge, and correct me if I'm wrong, in many states your doctor does not have to divulge information that you may have a history of clinical depression, paranoia, anxiety, bipolar syndrome, ect. This was what the Obama administration was trying to pass into law after the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings, but failed to do so.

Anyhow its a mute point, if a handful of dead white kindergartens can't change public opinion in the United States than I very much doubt the Charleston massacre will have an effect, you'll just have to wait for the next mass shooting.

As for US ghettos, I'm pretty sure if I decided to take a stroll though the neighborhoods of Detroit in the evening my health wouldn't fair well. I've been through parts of the South Bronx, as the only white guy for miles I'm pretty sure the odds of something bad happening to me, if I was alone come sundown, would increase exponentially.

You shouldn't have to look tough to feel fine in a neighborhood, Annie should be able to walk through it.

There's so much wrong with the picture. The least of which being the flowers that aren't planted or anything. Great parenting there.
