99% of everything you are told about us is a lie

2017-11-06 17:04:16 UTC  

I live in gun centric america

2017-11-06 17:04:19 UTC  

show me the problem

2017-11-06 17:04:37 UTC  

There is a crime problem in America

2017-11-06 17:04:45 UTC  

is probally more accurate

2017-11-06 17:04:54 UTC  

first define what "gun culture" even is

2017-11-06 17:05:08 UTC  

a "newsworthy" crime problem

2017-11-06 17:05:10 UTC  

Its like when people say rape culture

2017-11-06 17:05:19 UTC  

its not like gun owners live in camps like lepers on the outskirts of town we're regular people everywhere

2017-11-06 17:05:42 UTC  

a subset of the larger population not exterior to it

2017-11-06 17:06:09 UTC  

Then why do you have all those school and church shootings?

2017-11-06 17:06:27 UTC  

several reasons

2017-11-06 17:06:40 UTC  

the biggest factor is the fucking media

2017-11-06 17:06:41 UTC  

You should really be asking why there's so much violent knife crime

2017-11-06 17:06:56 UTC  

Seeing as it's waaaaay higher

2017-11-06 17:07:22 UTC  

Mass knifing?

2017-11-06 17:07:23 UTC  

think about it, if youre a lonely deranged asshole the quickest, easiest way to get your face plastered onto every TV in america for a week straight is to shoot up someplace

2017-11-06 17:07:29 UTC  

You are saying gun = knife?

2017-11-06 17:07:35 UTC  

both are weapons

2017-11-06 17:07:38 UTC  

One's a tool.

2017-11-06 17:07:52 UTC  

Both are tools

2017-11-06 17:08:02 UTC  

A gun is not a tool. It has one purpose.

2017-11-06 17:08:09 UTC  

That's the difference between gun owners and non owners

2017-11-06 17:08:19 UTC  

its purpose is decided by the person using it.

2017-11-06 17:08:26 UTC  

a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function

2017-11-06 17:08:28 UTC  

hmmmm

2017-11-06 17:09:05 UTC  

to think that the manufacturers intended purpose is in any way relevant is ridiculous

2017-11-06 17:09:52 UTC  

A hammer is as much a tool or weapon as a gun

2017-11-06 17:10:10 UTC  

Or even...A sickle

2017-11-06 17:10:10 UTC  

So in what way can you use a gun then?

2017-11-06 17:10:35 UTC  

how about recreational shooting since thats 99% of the ammunition expended in the US

2017-11-06 17:10:55 UTC  

Currently there is an epidemic of wild pigs in the central US

2017-11-06 17:10:59 UTC  

why do effectively nonlethal calibers like .22LR wildly outsell large bore calibers?

2017-11-06 17:11:19 UTC  

Because squirrels ruin our birdfeeders

2017-11-06 17:11:23 UTC  

most people own guns exclusively for recreation

2017-11-06 17:11:31 UTC  

So you're undermining your own point by making a different statement.

2017-11-06 17:11:37 UTC  

or hunting, or defense

2017-11-06 17:11:47 UTC  

Hunting and defense are both using the gun for killing.

2017-11-06 17:11:56 UTC  

Gheto safaris?

2017-11-06 17:12:07 UTC  

yes but thats like saying we should ban fire extinguishers to prevent fires.

2017-11-06 17:12:15 UTC  

No, it's not. Not even close.
