Do Americans need weapons?

[WinterBorn]

You need to be ready for everything.
Those problems that you listed are due to the fact that people forget why they need weapons. It will sober them up.

If you have a weapon, you should be in the reserve of the militia. It's written in the second amendment. Carrying a weapon makes a man liable for military service.

Our Supreme Court has consistently held that the 2nd amendment is not connected to any military service and is, in fact, and individual right.

 

[WinterBorn]

Can not be. It's written about the state militia to defend the freedom of the state.

No, it is not. The US Supreme Court has rules it is not connected to military service and is an individual right.

Then the Americans were smarter and more courageous. Now they have same-sex marriages

LMAO!!!! You bring up same sex marriages in a 2nd amendment debate? That is pathetic.

But neither your ignorance of the US Constitution, nor your fear of homosexuals will prevail.

Thanks for your assistance

now the only question is which foreign country are you posting from?

He is in India. You know, Caste Systems, antiquated social rules, and some of the direst poverty in the world?

What law gives women the right to own guns?

The US Constitution protects the rights of all citizens. Women here have all the rights enjoyed by men.

 

[WinterBorn]

Given the fact that there are only 200-300 justifiable homicides per year in USA, I find these studies sort of fishy.

Nothing fishy about them at all. They only seem fishy when you expect every private gun owner to kill someone to stop a crime, every time.

Often just knowing someone is armed is a deterrent for the criminal.

female emancipation is left wing

Treating women as equals is the right way for a gov't to be. Some day your country will get there too.

 

[WinterBorn]

You don't understand your own country. Women in the army and fag in America appeared only a few years ago. America is still an extreme right-wing country, it is a unique country, it is not like any other country in the world in this.

You think the US is unique in having women in the military?? LMAO!! You need to do more research.

Some ancient people also hunted. Mostly forest savages who, for some reason, were driven back to hungry areas of the earth. They did this even 4,000 years after humans built observatories. Used stone axes 10 thousand years after people mastered metallurgy.
By the way, they hunted not only animals, but also people.

And it was their men that did the hunting.

They read it correctly.

 

[WinterBorn]

And it was their men that did the hunting.

In many ancient cultures the men did all the hunting. In the primitive cultures where women hunted, it was both genders doing it. I cannot recall any ancient cultures in which only the women hunted, as rupol claims.

But then, he has a rather warped sense of the truth.

 

[Woodznutz]

No, it is not. The US Supreme Court has rules it is not connected to military service and is an individual right.

The subject of the amendment is the right to bear arms, not the militia.

It was a pragmatic decision by the government. Without the free possession of firearms the Federal government would be responsible for the defense of every citizen. England took away their citizens gun rights and the resulting mayhem forced them to restore those rights, even insisting that the citizens so arm themselves.

Those who oppose gun rights are actually interested in the downfall of the republic, not protecting us from ourselves. In my state alone there are 600,000 individuals that own weaponry capable of killing a deer at 200 yards. Does anyone think that the anti-gun nuts would stop with handguns. It's their long range plan to eliminate long guns so the citizenry would be completely defenseless by eliminating the very weapons suggested in the 2nd Amendment.

Reading his posts is like looking at the world in a funhouse mirror.

Guns save over 300 thousand lives a year

I find it absolutely unbelievable. Such studies may exist, but they do not reflect reality.

 

[Man of Ethics]

The only way you get 30k gun deaths a year is to include the 20,000+ suicides by gun. And the only thing we know about every gun suicide is that they truly wanted to die. If someone truly wants to die, not having a gun won't stop them. Japan has some of the strictest gun laws in the world, and a suicide rate that is the 2nd highest among G7 nations.

1) Most suicides without guns are unsuccessful.

2) The main problem with Japan is that they do not view Suicide as a sin.

In USA, men suffer a lot of severe discrimination. Men are viewed as the class of oppressors. Hundreds of thousands of men lose their careers due to unfounded accusations of Sexual Harassment. Men get 63% more time in prison for the same offense. American Penal System is an order of magnitude harsher then Russian Penal System.

 

[Man of Ethics]

Lol, keep studying you do not understand our country. Lol Here our women have the same rights as everyone else.

Actually much more rights then men -- especially in divorce.

The studies are there, you just don't believe them? Do you have anything substantial to counter them?

 

[Blues Man]

Americans need foreigners to stop telling them what they need.

Lol, tell me about it.my divorce was final in April of last year and ya big hit on the old wallet. Oh well in a few years she will spend all that money. I can make it again. He who laughs last laughs best.
