However if you go to the wrong address....Let your basketball roll onto the neighbors lawn or complain about your neighbor shooting his assault rifle whilst your child is trying to sleep....You can expect to get shot....Sending your children to school or going to work could result in you never coming home....The prevalence of so many firearms in society with little to no regulation which are used for only one thing, killing your fellow Americans does not make society safer or more considerate....The prevalence of firearms allows anyone with a grievence no matter how trivial to use deadly force where reason is not considered an option....Where else in first world nation do you get shot for knoking on the wrong door or turning into the wrong driveway....Republicans have shot down gun reforms including mental health checks and restrictions on assault weapons....An armed society is killing it's children and making it easier to happen....Stupid is forever!!!

Trumpy has a point. The South Americans are a problem, they shoot and rape...
oh. I see. sorry, sorry.

I swear you are becoming more and more unhinged as time goes by.

Polite? In a thread about 5 people (including children) being shot dead with an assault rifle in their own home for asking a drunk guy to stop firing rounds so their baby could sleep, you say guns make people more "polite".

And you go even further, "Don't criticise Trump or you'll be killed" ... "politeness"

It beggars belief!

I' quite accustomed to seeing outrageous drivel from you Horseboy but this is lunatic proportion drivel.

Politeness is not a consequence of fear, you fool. It is a consequence of respect.

What the hell is wrong with you?

That's true, dear. People are always polite to bank robbers, no?

I do feel they bring more manners to our armed hold-ups and hostage situations, don't you?

If we had the rate of mass shootings in Australia the same as what we see in America, there would be one mass shooting in Australia every 9 days. And that would be unacceptable. But, if the USA had the same rate of mass shootings as Australia has had in the last 27 years, there would be 2 shootings per year in the USA. And that would be unacceptable.

The only effort Americans would likely try to avoid future mass shootings is to ban the airplay of songs like Jon Secada's "Just Another Day", to prevent hurt feelings.

Well, of course it's perfectly acceptable to be "indignant" about
the number of firearm deaths and mass killings happening
every week across America.

Indignant,  adj:  —feeling or showing anger because of something unjust or unworthy.

If you don't feel angry about all those needless gun deaths,
then you really need to reappraise your obviously indifferent
moral and ethical beliefs.       Everybody should be angry.

And the issue of vehemently opposing the lax firearms laws
in America has nothing to do with complainants' "self-righteousness"
—it also has nothing to do with one feeling morally superior to
others.  In actuality, opposition to those outdated, negligent
laws is the sign of a morally right or justifiable standpoint.

—In fact, your patronising little comment better represents
   someone's self-righteousness—more so than any sort of
   meaningful thought processes.     Tsk, tsk.
