the gun culture of the south was influenced pretty heavily by the necessity of using armed threats to keep slaves in line, and then post-slavery to protect oneself from newly free'd slaves

Where?

And do you think slavery has anything to do with... greed?

Black people actually OWN guns. And they shoot each other with them. That’s about as pro-gun as it gets.

sorry if that bothers you snowflake

it's well documented that gun advocacy has always been hypocritically racial

That’s not gun control that’s gun control for black people only. That’s your precious democracy. More white people. Vote. OK blacks can’t have guns.

None of that **** took guns from white people.

Just passing through the internet wastelands and wanted to see what goes on. Perhaps this comment's already been made in some shape,but we have guns here in Norway. The perhaps striking difference is that we have guns for hunting and not for scaring / killing peeps. So, I think a gun culture - if there should be one - should at least go hand in hand with a hunting culture. Take out the hunting part and it seems more than a little nuts.

I heard in a podcast that in the US, there's a gunshow loophole which is basically that if you're at a gunshow, you can buy guns - no questions asked. In that podcast, they claim that this loophole exists in most states and account for about 50% of sales. This is how the Columbine shooters got their guns.

These are claims that I haven't confirmed at all, but if true, that's pretty crazy that 50% of guns is bought basically without any regulation other than eyeballing over the counter.

Hi tore!

Nice of you to stop by. Hope you're well, somewhere in Svalbard away from the pandemic, studying ants or whatever it is you do...

Btw, Norway is an odd exception regarding guns and violence I'd say, hence Breivik and all that mess. Apparently he bought semi-automatic weapons legally...:/

I wouldn't know the first thing about buying a gun in Croatia. Although plenty of people get killed by guns there every year. I always figure it's just a remnant of the war. :/

Hey tore! Long long long time no see! How are ya bud?
I agree with you re hunting; it's an excuse or justification for owning weapons, though what exactly you're going to hunt with an assault rifle I don't know. Maybe them deer is banding together and getting real scary?

Gun Laws by State

OccultHawk · 02-01-2021, 07:23 AM

Saying Florida has an open carry ban is a bit misleading because you’re allowed to carry it in your holster. Florida also has some of the most liberal laws in the country concerning when deadly force is acceptable.
