Why doesn't Americans restrict the use of firearms like every sensible nation?

Why doesn't Americans restrict the use of firearms like every sensible nation?

It's no wonder these idiots have mass shootings on a daily basis.

go back to your shithole country MAGA

t. Jew

I need more of this .

That's the most awful American flag I've ever seen. Looks more like North Korean flag.

Because America has always been the land of freedom. Hopefully it'll stay that way

Bait thread

Not really. The country is mature enough to start developing some culture. You can't always remain wild wild west savages.

Yes. The culture of individualism and freedom.

Because America is resisting the globalist urge to turn all first world countries into Oceania.

Dickinsen
Whitman
Twain
Faulkner
Fitzgerald

Because we have a document called the Constitution that sets out very specific rules.

Now fix whatever shit hole you live in and when your currency is the world standard lets talk again.

...

Don't get me wrong I'm not denying the existence of great culture, but some countries can trace their the culture back for 4000 years. It will take more time to develop, and I can't wait to see what's in store in the future.

Great, I won the argument

Constitution is nothing really special. Most South American countries have copied it almost verbatim, and look at all the good it did. Poverty, wars, dictators, etc.

Because the American people are ridiculously ignorant and think regulation threatens their perceived freedom of choice that doesn't actually exist. In short they dumb and refuse to acknowledge a problem despite overwhelming evidence.... similar to a drug addict.
For example of such idiots see below:

That's really subjective. American is a direct heir to British culture, and Western civilization in general, with roots going back at least 3,000 years. And when it comes down to it, the U.S. is one of the oldest nation-states in the world. Nearly every other country has undergone major political changes that effectively rebooted their nations, while the U.S. hasn't in about 250 years. You're primarily defining culture by geography. China has undergone so many revolutions, the only real connection between the Qin dynasty and Mao is the land a loose sense of belonging.

Though it's definitely true that the U.S. has fewer significant historical sites within its boundaries.

>almost verbatim

It is special to us.
And we have noticed our Government can not agree on any changes.

Also we notice many others from other places trying to demand changes that are never going to happen.

We observe the failures of other nations and refuse to follow their poor examples. PS Fuck you.

Yeah bud, tons of dead kids but you win an arguement on Sup Forums(not actually though)

>restrict the use of firearms

you'd feel very good if you restricted at least a bit firearms usage by niggers and gangstas

I know. We also have a huge drug problem so maybe we should make drugs illegal too. If we make all drugs illegal then no one can use them. Oh wait...

Because their entire economy and position in the world is based around the dealing and using of firearms?

Maybe theyre trying to desensitive the (young) murrican humans from gunviolence and death as to prepare for a war soon to come?

Murricans are dumb. Politicians are not - theyre just asshats

Well, I would disagree with you on that one. The authors in the post I was replying to are distinctively American, especially Mark Twain, since I know his work the best of those listed. Regardless of common heritage the Americans have created their own spin off, and it is going in their own direction. But the spin off is relatively young and has a long way to go.

Please, you learned from other countries? Your country is the largest collective of ignorant head in the sand fucking morons in the world. You used to be a great nation... the gold standard... now, you're a joke. You're entire country is divided, your president is a fucking game show host, your elementary to high schools are garbage and your health care system will bankrupt you if you get the flu or a bowel obstruction. I won't even touch gun control, because why bother, you guys are a total fucking disgrace to your own founding fathers. Learned from other nations failures .... fuckin hell mate... you're delusional. Enjoy your guns.

OP is obviously retarded Lol

Cops have killed more people than all mass shootings combined. Maybe we should ban cops.

>countries without guns have perfected slavery

The cops with premature ejaculation are also specifically an American issue.

Are you fucked bud? The US has the most citizens killed by cops in the world. Again, it's a you problem, not a rest of us problem.

Guess you've never seen Brazilian cops lmao

>countries without guns have perfected slavery
The prison industrial complex is the most advanced form of slavery. And surprise surprise the USA has the most prisoners per capita

Trump: "Guns don't kill people, mental illness kills people! Don't blame the guns"

Trump - removes restrictions on mentally disturbed individuals purchasing guns

>country is literally so retarded that you'd think it was satire...

Guys arguing with these idiots is a waste of time. It's like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good the argument no matter how good you are the American retard pigeon will call sexual misconduct shit all over the board and fly away like they won. Ideally we would wall the USA off and prevent them from infecting the rest of the world. It's a shame people immigrate there with false hope.... Just go north a bit to Canada, you're better off.

My point is the spin-offs happen all the time. The idea that China has 3,000 years of history is just based on geography, not reality. Not all the changes were as severe as the Ming dynasty, but the only direct form of continuity is. they live in the same place.

Being their own thing doesn't mean it's a good thing.

please research before you speak

Of course, it doesn't automatically make it a good thing. But I was speak from a personal preference point.

Western civilization goes back thousands of years but the USA does not get to piggyback on that history. The USA not rebooting their politics for 250 years isn't a source of pride. Geography is irrelevant. arrogance and ignorance are the same no matter the geographical location.

Okay, I can respect that, as well as your acknowledgment of USA being young with a long way to go towards maturity as a nation. I just don't have the same optimism about where it's heading unfortunately.

It's true, arrogance and ignorance are the same no matter the geographical location. You're displaying it perfectly.

> I just don't have the same optimism about where it's heading unfortunately.
Indeed. I like to remain cautiously optimistic. Shit comes and goes, let's just hope it doesn't leave too big a smear so it can't be cleaned.

Yes, I see. I concede my point.

America is a 3rd world country with 1st world money, it's basically a rich middle east just a bunch of monkeys killing each other

All of their greatest works were harsh critiques of America. They're literally leftist trash.

>just a bunch of monkeys killing each other
You basically just summed up the entire history is humanity.

Be gud goy give me your guns you no need guns

Criticizing something doesn't mean you don't love it. Uncultured swine

fuck off niggers

The irony being is that gun business is a huge money cow.

That's actually a really good point haha.

Ya thanks buddy for reiterating what I said and proving my point by trying to use me as an example of ignorant and/or arrogant of which I am neither. I made valid points, you just pointed your finger and said "no you are" essentially.... congrats.... ya got me.... fuckin moron.

Small smear or big, shit is shit. Cautiously optimistic is better than optimistic though I guess. (in my not so humble opinion) lol

>536▶
>Why doesn't Americans restrict the use of firearms lik

You think Emily Dickinson's greatest poems were critiques of America? I'll have to assume you've never read or heard a single one, because that's a lot like claiming the U.S. flag is orange, purple, and a bag of chips.

For all her poems are worth today... it may as well be.

Don't like it leave. Many countries do that love there. We have the Second Amendment just like the first we will fight for it. Love on fag lord

You didn't make a single point, you just went hur dur American sucks. You're arrogant and clearly ignorant if you think Switzerland is part of the Western tradition, but America is somehow not.

> uncultured swine goes oink oink

This made me lol for some reason

The problem is we have a mental health issue. More people are killed each year with knives, than they are with guns.

>inb4 15k gun deaths each yr
If you actually go and look at FBI and CDC reports, only 1% of that 15k is homicide with a gun. More than half (60%) of it is suicide, the other 39% is police, defensive, accidental shootings. You're more likely to be stabbed to death than getting shot.

This game has been played for yrs. Some one does some thing horrible, instead of actually for once going "Hey...maybe this actually might be a mental issue, we should look into it" instead all you faggots think about is banning an inanimate object. If you actually googled other places who have ban guns, you see that violent crimes have sky rocket, murder rates are actually higher than they were before the ban, you'll also see that it doesn't stop ppl from obtaining a gun, or committing mass murders with out even using a gun. You're still a faggot.

Why doesn't you exercise proper grammar?
t. Retard

this is such a bad argument
because drugs are illegal the state can do something about it
in America you can take a rifle to your school and the cops wont be able to arrest you until you actually start shooting people
and the whole freedom and protection against the government is bullshit as well
id like to see you try to fight against an c-170 or an m1 abrahms using your trusty AR

>in America you can take a rifle to your school and the cops wont be able to arrest you until you actually start shooting people
So you've clearly never been to America, and I have to assume based on how hilariously inaccurate that is that you've gotten all your information from internet stereotypes

now u know how the majority of muslims feel towards the tard terrorists.

Switzerland? are you high? Learn to read and try again. Your retort made no sense. Try again friend.... American school systems at work.

Poor analogy. Nobody has ever said Muslims can carry a gun to school in Europe, and nobody can arrest them until they start shooting.

You're the one failing at reading comprehension. Your hur dur reply was to a post saying that America is part of Western civilization, just like Europe. Wherever you were educated, they failed to overcome your innate stupidity.

No I'm well educated and cultured I'm just saying some Hollywood fad models twitter feed has more influence than any classical or academic literature today... unfortunately.

They had their influence, they're not just not the most immediate current influence.

No, you fuck-tard, my hur-dur reply was against a claim of an old/wise America piggybacking on thousands of years of western culture. I never denied them being part of it. I said they don't get to ride on the coat tails of it. So fuck you learn to read and there's no need to overcome a nonexistent stupidity. I wish you luck in breaking out of poverty though.

...

id say that america would be better without guns if it started disarming the population alot earlier but in the situation it is currently at, disarming the population would be a mistake

"had"
.... Unfortunately is the operative word here. Kim K could sway a voting block while intellects are ignored in America. Lets not pretend poetry still holds sway.... It doesn't (just incase you needed it spelt out for you) the only poetry people care for now is the lyrical stylings on Cardi-B.

you clearly stopped reading after my first example and immediatly made the assumption that i base everything on kek memes

You're really stupid, aren't you? You just swear a lot and try to demolish things because it makes you think it distracts from your essential idiocy.

Just so everyone can see your mental skill this, this is the post , which claimed that American is an heir to British culture, and Western civilization. Which is indisputable. Tard boy just decided that no, that's must be wrong because he hur dur hates America.

Then you shouldn't base everything on kek memes,

>tfw no gf like that

who said i do?

So what? You're ignoring that all the old cultural influences have become embedded in our language, how we speak, and how we look at the world. People may not experience Shakespeare directly as much as before, but his influence is still massive because he shaped the culture that Kanye and Kim grew up in. He's part of the English/Western lingua franca.

Your post based on kek memes.

>He's part of the English/Western french language

Just look at the donations from the NRA going to Republicans...That's why, dumbass

French?

At least they regulate the highly increasing population on a minor level. Actually schoolshooters are good guys who sacrefise their life for a bigger reason. China should legalise guns though.

Lingua Franca literally means French language. French language was the most important language between 17th and 19th century, and it was the common language people used to use to communicate, much like English today. Somehow that term stuck to mean the common language people use, even though it's not the French anymore. Basically I was expounding on your point of shared Western heritage.

fun fact there have already been 16 school shootings this year in america. america, also being the land with the most guns per citizen (88 for every 100 citizens)
guns dont kill people, people kill people
then why not use people for a school shooting?

So you're saying America is an heir to the culture they fought a war to get away from? lol America gets to claim their culture is thousands of years old because they were once upon a time a colony? ...ya I'm the idiot, no no no you're right retard. I swear a lot to demolish you being right about America being the heir to western culture.... ya you got me..... I'm still right you're still wrong and yes this "tard boy" as this uneducated walmart employ says is wrong because "hur dur fuck America"..... well you're right about only one thing and I really mean only ONE thing and that is that I do hate on America. So fuck you and have a nice morning in your shitty country. Don't get sick though, you'll need a second mortgage.

are people arguing over American culture?
you mean french fries and german burgers
or italian pizza?

I'm not ignoring it. I'm saying you seem to think that old culture still matters when it couldn't matter less. majority of voting population don't know half of the writers listed earlier. Pretending they still matter today is just lying to yourself.

Gotcha.

no no no Freedom fries..... they turned their backs on the french when they wouldn't support them after 911, but they forget the French are the ones responsible for their independence so they changed the name of a common potato dish.

>So you're saying America is an heir to the culture they fought a war to get away from?
Yes. That's how culture works.

And no, I'm not claiming that American culture is thousands of years old -- reread my original post. I was pointing out that claims that any culture is thousands of years old, whether China or Egypt or whatever, is wrong-headed because culture changes radically over time, restarting, branching off, and going in new directions. Qin China is not Ming China is not Mao's China, France of 1200 is not the France of today, nor is America of 2018 the same as Shakespearean English. But both France and America can trace their ancestral cultural influences back to Ancient Greece or even beyond.

freedom fries?
the best idea when someone doenst want to invade a country after your politicians flew a plane into a uilding is to change the name of fried potato strips
there is nothing freedom related to america
all america has ever done is invade other countries
america has never suffered from an invasion or attack on their homeland

2nd amendment

You're ignoring it, because you're saying the influences the classics had on our culture were somehow erased because kids today aren't as exposed to Shakespeare. That's not true, because those works are one of the foundations on which modern culture, and the ideas and the way they're expressed influenced and became part of later works, and in that way still influence the modern world.

NO IT ISN'T! Thats not how culture works. Any culture is not thousands of years old. During WWII was the Socialist culture "thousands of years old"? No. American culture is, in your own words, only 250 odd years old, they dont get claim to the thousands of years of European culture. Ya they're a part of it.... a very small flippin part of it, but that is not how culture works. Cultures evolve. Wars are fought to move on from previous cultures. Any culture is not thousands of years old. Cultures come and go over millennia and USA doesn't get to lay claim to any ancient cultural heritage beyond their own independence. .... the heir to western culture.... mother fucker please. (there's some swearing to help your point, you're welcome)

WTF with United States flag? Fucking racist Jews!

You functionally illiterate, aren't you? The original post of mine that triggered your insane rant, and the post you just replied to BOTH explicitly were pointing out that no culture is thousands of years old.

And no, I never said that America's culture is 250 years old. It's coherent existence as a relatively unchanged POLITICAL entity goes back about 250 years. That has little to do with culture.

Holy fuck. You're not just a tard, you're a gigatard.

You're right these works influenced those that now influence. But yes I am saying that kids today could not name more than one Shakespeare play, they never heard of Twain, Dickinson or Hemmingway and yes I do feel their works have become irrelevant.

On a per captia basis in the Us 0.15 people out of 100,000s get shot. If you consider mathmaticly everyone currently alive owns a gun. Also if you remove suicides from the stats you Remove 75% of that chance. Putting you down to .037 Remove gang violence and cut another 75% taking you to like 0.0093. Other country's Have less total number of gun deaths but they also have fractions of our population.
