But the murder rate is far lower
That's why we resort to fisticuffs
The video you posted contains a lot of poorly made arguments, especially in the case of the terror attacks like what happenned in London. Like why would a soldier or a cop should be able to carry a weapon and a civilian not. The most important thing to note here is that soldier and cops are trained with weapons (and if they aren't, there's something wrong with your country), not every civilian are and they can misuse, have their weapon taken away and used against them, etc. Guns serve as a deterence in most of the cases but that doesn't apply to terrorists. Terrorists are mostly fanatics that don't care about dying. They aims for crowded places to makes a lot of victims. What do you think would happen if non-trained civilians would use their firearms in crowded area? Finally, his whole arguments doesn't really apply to a country where a ban is already in place and criminals have it hard to find firearms like the UK.
What you seems to not understand @VInyl is the fact that if you allow gun, criminals have access to them too. Civilians can't defend and shoot at offenders faster than their bullets (especially in the case where they use automatic, assault rifles and the likes), it would most of the time result in way more casualties. There's other way to defend yourself against some terrorist who doesn't have a firearm than shooting him. The whole thing in London was made by a guy with a knife and a car, he killed 5 people and injured some others. How many would have died and be serverly injured if he had a m16/ak74 or the like, even with civilian carrying guns? As dune said, there's less murder in the UK even though the violent crime is higher. Such ban would be a non sense in the US as people would easily access to firearms anyway and it would impede the civilians defense. But it seems to be efficiant over there. You can't apply your logic of everyone can be a law enforcer to the rest of the world.
One last thing @VInyl. Gun control isn't necessarily about banning guns but regulating their possession. I think it would be really beneficial to check on people background and to train them in firearms uses before allowing them to own a gun.

"Donald Trump blames Democrats for stunning failure to repeal Obamacare"

"After weeks of contentious negotiations over the American Health Care Act (AHCA), Republicans had to admit defeat as they could not gain sufficient support from their own side for the plan to overhaul US health insurance."
I'm already confused
"If they didn't make the bill so good, we would have been able to repeal it by now"
is that an hidden compliment or does he admit his own failure ?
^ no irony
I don't understand the "if they didn't make the bill so good" part
is it good ? or is it just too hard for him to repeal ?
CNN? 🤔
@Tech Talk Where can i buy this? 😂
Typical, burn everything someone you don't agree with says because you can't stand listening to differing opinions and having civil conversation about it.

And now for the real news
JAPAN YES
How do you keep diversity to only 'your own truly peaceful, respectful cultural and religious values'
It doesn't sound very diverse if it's only your own
the best future is international cooperation between nationstates that seek to preserve their cultural and ethnic essence
being able to enjoy sushi if you're australian isnt true diversity, but just appreciating and cooperating with japanese people and culture. The bad diversity is the one where both perish when they fuse, very sad
the bad diversity is also when either of the species turn gay and refuse to give new life
