Merged An armed society...

People tend to get so angry these days it might be a good idea for a test to be required before a person can purchase a firearm. Having said that there are plenty of illegal guns in society.

It's an old cliche but it's really true when people say that if guns are banned only criminals will have guns. There is a lot of gun smuggling from Russia and China and South America as it is but were guns to be banned the gun runners would make more money than the drug trafficers.

Find an example of a needless shooting, and they call it cherry-picking.

Find a statistic that suggests gun violence is higher in countries with a lot of guns, and they say you can't compare differing countries.

Find a statistic that suggests gun violence is reduced when gun ownership is restricted, and they compare it to a different country where they say it didn't.

You can't tell gun-huggers they shouldn't have their guns.

you don't understand if a bad guy with a gun is shooting people without guns, and a good guy with a gun shoots the bad guy with gun that shows how great guns are. 1 dead badguy and one or more dead or maimed innocent people is better than if the good guy with a gun was made a criminal for having a gun if libruls take away the good guys guns, because you cant take away the bad guys guns because they look like good guys until they reveal themselves as bad guys so you would have to take everyones guns and that would be unfair on the real good guys because then they wouldnt have guns to shoot the bad guys and the bad guys would have guns to shoot the good guys who if they still had guns would now be bad guys also but good bad guys because they would be shooting the bad bad guys and be criminals for it. understand?

Barely, due to your inability to punctuate, but I think I get the gist. Unfortunately, the real world doesn't conform to your very simple model. In the real world, we don't get to divide the population into good guys and bad guys, and presumably give them white hats and black hats so we can tell them apart. In the real world, there's good and bad in all of us; only the proportions change.

Maybe the guy in the pickup was a good guy, right up to the moment when he lost it and became a bad guy. Maybe the guy who goes postal at work after being made redundant was a good guy all his life, but mounting problems pushed him over the edge. Maybe if there weren't so many guns in your country, neither the good guy nor the bad guy would have a gun? Just a thought.

Nuh uhh. Ask the NRA. And sorry about the punctuation, next time I will use bullet points.
 
When it comes to guns and cherry picking

It isn't hard when there are that many cherries

If you actually look at the statistics, America has a horrific gun violence problem compared to it's contemporaries.

That is because comparing america to industrialized western democracies is a huge mistake. We are not and should not be. We really are a third world nation only more so.
 
Road rage. Man in truck shoots lady over merging into a lane.

Apologies if a duplicate.

In the last couple weeks I've had people yell at me for parking to slowly among other things. Being on a bike is quite frightening too. Just be careful out there, don't get into any shouting matches, just walk away, don't get hurt or killed over nothing.

There are people out there willing to murder you over a traffic disagreement.

That's not news to me as a motorcyclist.
 
I read somewhere that the man was charged with both first degree and third degree murder. What's up with that?
