I agree with this fellow immigrant:

Societal Decay - Henson Ong

Henson Ong at Gun Violence Prevention Public Hearing - Hartford, CT - 1/28/2013 - YouTube

Great speech. Cut short by the politician "please wrap it up", lol.


Thomas Jefferson: "The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." (http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/beauty-second-amendment-quotation)

Thomas Jefferson - No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms. - Proposed Virginia Constitution, June, 1776. (http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution )

Keep citing stuff thats hundreds of years old.

Things change. The world changes.

Like of the comments said the capacity and availability of guns is what has changed. Societal decay is a cop out. Its always easier to blame abstract qualitative things than look at fact

Also is a new thread really necessary?

Yes, we have more guns and demonstrably less violence.

So with more killing your saying its not a societal decay and it just that we have more guns?

Maxed out your hard drive did it?

yes, that's why we're #10 on gun deaths per capita at 10.2/100,000 and england is nearly last with 0.25/100,000.

so, the country with restrictive gun laws has 1 gun death per 400,000 people and the US has 1 per 10,000. our increased supply of guns apparently makes us safer (??) by killing 4,000% more people per year.

I love flawed logic. it's great.

I didn't say 'gun deaths', I said 'violence'.
