Honest and Insightful Discussions of Gun Control Do Not Exist
Below is a good example of something that is absolutely true, though it’s just as absolutely worthless. For NRA followers, a nuanced discussion of gun control is simply not going to happen.
Could never understand the US attitude to guns, and the level of opposition to basic regulation let alone prohibition of even military grade guns!
Controlling and regulating civilian access to guns is not even controversial anywhere else I can think of.
In the US murder rates, suicides, and gun related accidents are WAY higher than in Western Europe, Canada, Japan, or just about any peaceful developed nation (and quite a few developing nations) and the majority of the difference would seem to result from the wide availability of guns. This does not even take into account “collateral damage” in Mexico and the rest of Latin America as a result of guns bought legally in the US being smuggled to various criminal gangs South of the border.
