In the view of pro-gun Americans, what is the solution to the recent wave of mass shootings?
I'd question the what the news agencies report. Remember Ferguson? Poor old Michael Brown getting shot by a raycis white cop in the south, then shortly after that police was suddenly a problem because you saw more stories of police brutality shortly after. They just have to cherry pick stories and then illusion of a epidemic problem is made. Another example is the Ebola incident. Only a few people got it and were quarantined, however the media talked about Ebola forever like America was going to a real life version of Pandemic when really there was no outbreak to begin with. Blow up something, lie, and live off the hype that you created because you made a story that sells.
All the big name Hardcore Gamers were all really intelligent people, school students, and of the ultra nerd variety. They were probably bullied/had mental problems or had both and got worse over time.
idk australia banned guns and for a bunch of insane forgets they seem to do better than America who is probably just as insane
On the contrary you have Mexico which has a total ban and high murder rate and you have Switzerland mandatory ownership. So really you can't one country and use it as the gold standard. Besides laws, you need to look at the population size and cultures of those countries.
Ofcourse the US is going to have more victims any other first world country. The US is a big place and has tons of people. Therefore the number of murders is going to be higher than the UK, EU, and Australia. They have different attitudes toward violence and smaller population sizes. Australia and Germany have mandatory censorship of violence in video games and movies, but its okay for the US and UK to have that stuff. On the contrary in Europe is actor to have actors naked and have love. You wont really see that in an American movie, but for Europe that is pretty normal.
Now Canada despite it's land mass, only has a population slightly smaller to that of California which is just a tall narrow state with land mass equal to Japan. Most of it's population concentrated in cities strangling the border where law enforcement is easy to concentrate. Just imagine how many murders go unnoticed in the untamed rural parts of the country if there is no one else around to discover them.
Actually, that is debateable. It is highly likely that the ownership of guns can be regulated. Moreover, the way most Americans own guns is against the constitution. For instance, it reads : This suggests that guns would only be legal for members of a militia, and even if we ignore that, gun control is explicitly constitutional
nice cherry picking, I can do that too
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Back then everyone had a gun. For self defense and hunting. The founding fathers didn't want to get into foreign affairs and they didn't want to have a large standing army. For defense the idea was to fight an invader Taliban style just like the revolution. You already had a bunch of dudes owning guns, that was the norm. So why not use them as the defense force thought the founders.
It's pretty ludicrous for government to give themselves the right to have weapons a when they already have the power to form an army. That is something you don't right down.
