| FreeTalkLive said: The US government invaded Somalia but left because of causalities. The US government invaded Iraq, but still doesn't control much of the area. Both the USSR and the US governments invaded Afghanistan. Still, the area isn't completely conquered. I'm not sure what I made up. There are federal restrictions on military-style assault weapons that are in place in all 50 states. Keep in mind that guns laws tend to be very restrictive in the southern US compared to places like NH, ME, VT, WY, MT and AK. The places in the US with the best guns laws (the states I just listed) tend to be the safest places in the US. The main exceptions are AK, which is pretty dangerous for many reasons, and ND, which doesn't have good gun laws and is still one of the safest places in the US. Rights are more important than the government. The government (at least where I live), was created to protect the people's rights to life, liberty and property. That is the purpose of the government. In the US, cops have no duty to protect people. Cases have gone to court and that is what courts have ruled. Hardly any nation in Europe is safer than NH. You likely wouldn't understand the culture where I live. People wear guns in bars while drinking in NH. A learners permit for driving? We don't have that. Auto insurance and seat belt use are optional. Even children don't have to wear motorcycle helmets. A couple years ago, a town voted against creating a government preschool, so the state offered to pay for it and the town leaders agreed. |
We didn't leave Somalia because of causalities we left because of politics. We lost something like 50 men in Black Hawk down, do you seriously think thats enough to deter the American army? Yes there's resistance in Iraq and Afghanistan but its minor, you don't have to worry we wont be losing those countries anytime soon.
Also look at the states you listed. They are all states with low populations and a society built around agriculture and other forms of manual labor which minimize centers of concentration. Basically your population is very spread out hence there are less interactions between people in crowded cities. How do you explain the other states I mentioned with high crime rates and low gun control?
Please I would love to see you show me a case that proves that cops don't have a right to protect people.
Like I said before what makes your rights more important than mine?
@FSP-Rebel
The founders also wrote the constitution over 200 years ago. According to the constitution back then black people should count as three fifths of a person, should we follow that too? If you payed attention I even added a regulation that would keep guns from getting onto the black market, where as theres nothing stopping them now. So just because you will be slightly more inconvenienced we should just ignore the massive problems loose gun laws are causing in this country?
Back when the constitution was written automatic weapons didn't even exist, people didn't have the ability to go an killing spree's with guns. Most commoners couldn't even afford a gun, it was a completely different world. In fact the founding fathers didn't even trust you enough to vote hence why we have an electoral voting system, do you honestly think they would be ok with the "common" people running around with fully automatic weapons that are capable of killing dozens of people in seconds?
If you want I can find you the statistics showing European countries lower murder, rape and crime rates. According to you crime should be rampant in Europe with criminals running wild with illegal guns so I ask again why aren't they?
