the only drug people want legalized is weed, which is pretty harmless compared to guns lol
the drugs that kill people are shit like fentanyl and oxycodone, which conservatards are very fond of for some reason

Swiss are forced to keep their guns locked in a cabinet unless a war breaks out. Also most swiss people are insanely rich and don't need to commit crime.
Those same African countries are also dirt poor because criminal behavior isn't being prosecuted or investigated. Imagine how much better the world would be if Nigeria actually gave a damn about fraud

the USA is a armed society and they're the third rudest people on the planet.
It has nothing to do with the right to buy and carry guns
America has a huge problem with poverty, low level of education and crime
Take the guns out of it and people will just use illegal guns, knives and whatever else they can get their hands on >go to the hospital

I never understood why Amercans are so willing to pick a fight with a complete stranger when there is a good chance there might be a gun in the equation down the line.
An armed society being a polite one is a perfectly sensible position.
The vast majority of Americans are not, but the 24-hour news cycle *wants* you think they are, so that you'll always be withdrawn, antisocial, and terrified that everyone is out to get you.
People with low IQ have lower inhibitions and worse risk analysis, they're unable to conceive that it's not worth it to potentially get shot over someone bumping into your shoulder.
I regularly think about homie Moments and that post about how the melanin-enriched have no concept of "present," "future" or "past" so when they do Black person things and get caught, when they proclaim they dindu nuffin, they honestly and truly believe that because in their mind, THEY didn't do whatever it was, that was some other homie.
Living in suburbs does that to people
For most of the story literally everyone there was on heavy drugs
Humans are designed to live in communities and US is too obsessed with individuality which is just not healthy
The "polite one" rule is bullshit, one time when I left the convenience store and put change in my cupholder, some schizo walked up to my window and told me to give him the coins, I said "no" and so he went a lifted a giant cinder block and tried to throw it at my car. I noped the frick outta there and drove off before he could throw it at me, scared me shitless though I've kept a gun in my center console ever since. He was armed and wasn't polite at all.
I didn't see him hold the brick ready to throw until I was already in reverse gear, it was faster to drive off
To tell you the truth I was genuinely worried I was going to have to shoot him, the schizos/homeless where I live are absolutely relentless and the police are too overwhelmed to deal with them
this was close to two years ago and I haven't seen him since. I'm thankful I haven't had the need to shoot anybody in defense if only I really don't want to deal with the bullshit of getting the gun taken away, spending several days in jail to be cleared, possible lawsuit from the family etc.
I always have been more attentive in parking lots ever since then, and especially after the time my adult brother almost got kidnapped at work
I carry a gun because of people like that, anon. It's extremely unlikely that I'll never need it. It's also extremely unlikely my car or house will catch on fire but I still have a fire extinguisher in my car and multiple in my house.

military grade weaponry has always existed (because technology both advances, the sling has been around since forever and can be as deadly as a gun given to basic working people like shepherds) and only in the last 300 years has it no longer been a requirement to keep such a weapon in case of war
>Why would an enemy state be coordinating fundraising to republican causes through the NRA,
Reason 1: it sows discontent among the state, because gun rights and abortion rights are the top two reasons for political shit-flinging in the US along party lines and everything else may as well be secondary for one-issue voters, and each party will prattle on about their side for years but not actually do much because if they did, people wouldn't have a reason to vote for them SAYING they'll do something. The NRA is the perfect evil boogeyman the news can drop into a segment to get views.
Reason 2: Export of Russian surplus weapons and ammo used to be a pretty sizable market, especially in the US in the days of $40 spam-cans of steel case ammo and barrels of Mosins and SKSs at Sears & Roebuck, and when that article was written- 2018- there was no import ban in place yet so it was in their best interest to keep the trade open- plus Russia hadn't yet gone full monke and started having to pull out their old cosmoline-dunked surplus to use themselves in their "short special operation." >an organization that (on its face) lobbies for selling more gun products to consumers,

Not sure what you're meaning with this, can you expand on that?
Getting into the strip is way too easy. The player should have been forced think about how exactly they were going to get inside. Using a fake pass should have had benefits and consequences. If the player got caught using one they should have risked getting banned from the strip having to resort to finding another way in or even being forced to side with another faction to complete the story.
The existence of a company town makes the corporation who owns it a goverment, therefore house is a politician, albeit one for profit instead of incompetence and subversion

yeah it is

If you break it down by race that stat is made quite clear
Despite making up 4.2% of the world population, Americans are 20% of the world's prisoners.

how come gun crime is not an issue in switzerland?
Swiss are forced to keep their guns locked in a cabinet unless a war breaks out. Also most swiss people are insanely rich and don't need to commit crime.
>insanely rich and don't need to commit crime.
anything can be criminalized, therefor being poor doesn't cause crime
>Also most swiss people are insanely rich and don't need to commit crime.
Nobody in developed countries need to commit violent crime.
Low IQ groups will always commit violent crimes, rich or not
So why isn't gun crime more prevalent in Switzerland?
Switzerland is white
Switzerland has higher gun ownership per capita.
Guess what it doesn't have though
There are African countries with less crime than US
>trusting 3rd-world stats
Those same African countries are also dirt poor because criminal behavior isn't being prosecuted or investigated. Imagine how much better the world would be if Nigeria actually gave a damn about fraud

I thought Sweden didn't allow gun ownership.
It has one of the highest gun ownership per capita rates in the entire world, hunting is a very popular pastime.

you should have shot him ten times in the chest then drove off
I didn't see him hold the brick ready to throw until I was already in reverse gear, it was faster to drive off
To tell you the truth I was genuinely worried I was going to have to shoot him, the schizos/homeless where I live are absolutely relentless and the police are too overwhelmed to deal with them
kill him anon, go back and provoke him into giving you a justifiable reason to end his life
this was close to two years ago and I haven't seen him since. I'm thankful I haven't had the need to shoot anybody in defense if only I really don't want to deal with the bullshit of getting the gun taken away, spending several days in jail to be cleared, possible lawsuit from the family etc.

Clearly we need cinderblock control.
