Very interesting discussion. Didn't know that political topics where allowed in this forum.
Bewolf wrote something very important imo: "And that is positive, why....? Most people here come out of an attack with a broken nose at best. Hardly with bullet holes. But then again, even the criminals here know they do not have to expect a gun when they enter a house, and in return do not feel the need to bring their own. Result...lots of people actually getting old, both victims and criminals, both having chances to actually tell stories to their grandchildren. " The main problem I see with firearmes is escalation. That's what Bewolf wrote. When stuff like "home defense" with guns is common, then criminals will prepare for that and bring their own. As a Swiss, I am always amazed how scared americans seem to be. Over here, I know not a single person who feels threatened to a point where he would feel the need for a gun in order to defend himself. The governement is also not seen as a threat. |

Australia has had basic centralized health care for over 40 years and even the extreme right wing "big business is good, climate-change denying, White Australia, shoot illegal immigrants on sight" side of politics are not considering getting rid of it. These discussions are pointless because the American world view is quite distorted and there is no common ground to even start a discussion. These sort of threads can only devolve into name calling and insults and really should be locked from the start. |
