Isn't it a violation of my cultural beliefs and discrimination to criticize my right to bear arms?

lol. Not bad.

Guess eliminating "re-education" culture would be a violation of my cultural beliefs though.

"Sign up for them classes boys and girls, first we're going to teach you how Battleships were used effectively in the WWII European theatre!"

 

[Damaged Eagle]

Is your "re-education culture" discriminating against my right to bear arms?

So it seems that when progressives point out that other cultures should be respected that it only applies to cultures that meet with their approval while avoiding any meaningful discussion when a culture doesn't meet their standards.

Your post is high on pictures and devoid of an exact description of who you mean.

The NAZI culture, Stalinism, the gun culture if that's what you're calling murderous gang members, some things just can't be tolerated.

Now if you want to talk about your right to join the militia and have your gun well regulated let's talk!

We have had to be a gun culture ever since they got off the Mayflower.

The Native American Indians would not give up their land easily.

Now, the Indians have been replaced by Mexicans, and freed slaves, and white trash thugs.

We still need our guns same as back on day #1.

Nothing has changed.

No. To what culture are you possibly referring? Those who flipped out on John Wayne and Rambo movies? Do they constitute a culture?

If my firearm is "well regulated", as you say, by my being licensed to own that firearm then there should be no issues with any firearm whether it's a .22 bolt action long rifle or fully automatic M16. Whereas the the murderous gang members you're referring to are not licensed to own any firearm and therefor not "well regulated". So if you want to go down this route with your reasoning then any firearm, no matter what size the magazine, should be available to any law abiding licensed citizen at a standard set rate for licensing no matter what firearm the person purchases.

So now you're saying there's no such thing as a "gun culture"?

Your right to bear arms are no less subject to reasonable regulation than my first amendment rights — which are subject to time place and manner restrictions.

I agree. As a private citizen a grenade launcher on my semi automatic firearm is pretty useless unless grenades are legal to purchase and since I only use the semi automatic firearm for just target practice I really don't need a bayonet attachment. Those seem like some reasonable restrictions on my 2nd Amendment rights.

If there is any term for this crap, it's "macho bullshit culture." Who do these idiots think that they're going to shoot? When I was growing up, we had men, not imbeciles.

"They" don't want to shoot anyone, they want to keep their families and communities safe from the criminals the democrats keep letting out of jail......and as more Americans engage in owning and carrying guns...our crime rates have dropped, while those in Britain, where they banned and confiscated guns, have gone up...

U.S.

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%

--gun crime down 75%

--violent crime down 72%

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

Britain


Yorkshire sees highest number of crimes for any county in Britain according to figures

Crimes covered violent and sexual offences, vehicle theft, public order offences, possession of weapons, shoplifting, personal theft, drug crimes, robbery, criminal damage, bicycle thefts and anti-social behaviour.

The latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent.

The number of people injured or killed by guns, excluding air weapons, has increased from 864 in 1998/99 to a provisional figure of 1,760 in 2008/09, an increase of 104 per cent .

Crime rise is biggest in a decade, ONS figures show

Ministers will also be concerned that the country is becoming increasingly violent in nature, with gun crime rising 23% to 6,375 offences, largely driven by an increase in the use of handguns.

Gun crime in London increases by 42% - BBC News

Gun crime offences in London surged by 42% in the last year, according to official statistics.

Top trauma surgeon reveals shocking extent of London’s gun crime

A leading trauma surgeon has told how the number of patients treated for gunshot injuries at a major London hospital has doubled in the last five years.

----

He said the hospital’s major trauma centre had seen a bigger rise in gunshot injuries compared to knife wounds and that the average age of victims was getting younger.

-----

Last year, gun crime offences in London increased for a third year running and by 42 per cent, from 1,793 offences in 2015/16 to 2,544 offences in 2016/17. Police have seized 635 guns off the streets so far this year.

Dr Griffiths, who also teaches medical students, said: “Our numbers of victims of gun injury have doubled [since 2012]. Gunshot injuries represent about 2.5 per cent of our penetrating trauma.

-----

Dr Griffiths said the average age of gun crime victims needing treatment at the hospital had decreased from 25 to the mid to late teens since 2012.

He added that medics at the Barts Health hospital’s major trauma centre in Whitechapel had seen a bigger rise in patients with gun injuries rather than knife wounds and that most were caused by pistols or shotguns.

Met Police commander Jim Stokley, who was also invited to speak at the meeting, said that handguns and shotguns were the weapons of choice and that 46 per cent of London’s gun crime discharges were gang-related.

He said: “We believe that a lot of it is associated with the drugs trade, and by that I mean people dealing drugs at street level and disagreements between different gangs.”

Violent crime on the rise in every corner of the country, figures suggest

But analysis of the figures force by force, showed the full extent of the problem, with only one constabulary, Nottinghamshire, recording a reduction in violent offences.

The vast majority of police forces actually witnessed double digit rises in violent crime, with Northumbria posting a 95 per cent increase year on year.

Of the other forces, Durham Police recorded a 73 per cent rise; West Yorkshire was up 48 per cent; Avon and Somerset 45 per cent; Dorset 39 per cent and Warwickshire 37 per cent.

Elsewhere Humberside, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Wiltshire and Dyfed Powys all saw violence rise by more than a quarter year on year.
