You do realize that's a joke wikipedia knockoff (which IIRC has a large 4chan population editing it).

Originally posted by Zymologist View PostI was just wondering. I don't personally know any, and again, Montana has a lot of gun owners. He seems to be stereotyping American gun owners as incredibly reckless idiots.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostWasn't really my intention. I know plenty of people who are fanatical about guns...even a couple who practically own armories.

Many of the people I know who are really into guns are pretty responsible. Keep them locked up. Only shoot at the range. Are familiar with firearm safety. That sort of thing. I know a number of other people who are quite a bit less responsible. There are all types out there.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

Originally posted by Adrift View PostI see. I'm assuming they're relatively easy to monitor when you're dealing with a nation whose military is made up primarily of conscripts, and whose size is only about equal to Vermont and New Hampshire combined. Wonder if they're allowed to fire them out back while drinking beers, or if they have to keep them locked away until government sanctioned exercises.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI think the point is that the firearms and some ammo is stored in their homes where they are readily available. And yet they have a very low crime rate including armed robberies and homicides. I just saw this on the Meta Picture website which reminded me of this conversation

Originally posted by fm93 View PostNot endorsing either side of this debate, but I think Switzerland has mandatory military service for all males, so I suspect that the gun ownership percentage is related to that fact--most guns are given to people in the context of conditions that emphasize social duty and responsibility. But that's not quite true in the US, so I'm not sure that using Switzerland as a favorable comparison quite works here. Just my $0.02.Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

This thread has more pages about guns than about gay disease vectors, can a mod split them into pixie's thread and keep future posts on topic?"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
