One thing I notice when I passed through the States, is that you are constantly being bombarded with advertising, subliminal messaging, NLP. Trying to sell you something, or mold the way you think.

(The fact that a large proportion of Americans seem to think they have a "right" to bear arms shows that more than just the government and military that are fucked.)

What's wrong with the right to bear arms?

[sleepyhead]

Dead people that is what is wrong with it.

Is that your only gripe? In Norway civilians outgun the government 16:1. It's a lot more complicated than simple possession.

is dead people my only gripe? Surely you cannot be serious.

Guns in Norway are for hunting and require a license. And far less people own a gun there compared to the US.

I don't think completely abolishing civilians guns is the right answer. However, they should be VERY tightly regulated, and open carry should be abolished for sure. I'm okay with having a low caliber rifle in your house, locked away for intrusion/intimidation purposes in case of robbery.

Right now it's pretty crazy though. My American uncle has so many fucking guns that could blow holes in your chest, and I think that's wrong.

Drop your attitude. If you have a point, make it. Nobody here is a mind reader.
