Varg Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 [quote name='Sternhauser' date='23 September 2009 - 02:39 PM' timestamp='1253731144' post='1971595'] Your culture is almost homogenous. It is becoming less so every day, but it is still quite homogenous. Other European countries are more homogenous. The murder rate in the United State, as I am sure it is in the British State, is almost wholly cordoned off in the realm of young, drug dealing thugs. "Hoodies," as you call them. If you're not involved with their trade, you don't become a statistic. I'm very happy with my personal murder ratio: I stay out of other people's business transactions, and they don't perforate me. It works out well. [/quote]You spelled homogeneous wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secuutus Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 [quote name='Winchester' date='24 September 2009 - 10:25 AM' timestamp='1253802337' post='1972116'] There must be an article on this. [/quote] looking for it as we speak! but i wont be suprised if there wasnt an article. I live in fort worth texas,I live about 25 minutes outside of the northside area, and they is a heavy gang area. Shootings happen all the time, and they never make the paper because its constant. So they might view this as just another shooting. I didnt see no reporters outside last night. but ima continue looking, if i dont find something ima write something to our local newspaper addressing the issue.

Varg Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 [quote name='Sternhauser' date='23 September 2009 - 02:39 PM' timestamp='1253731144' post='1971595'] In one of the mini-States, (which is about as culturally homogenous to your State) Vermont, any adult who can legally own a firearm may carry it, openly or concealed, without a permission slip from any other man. Their murder rate is 1.5 per 100,000. Britain's is 1.1 per 100,000. Vermont's rate is about equal to that of Britain. And their violent crime rate is second to lowest within the United State. How is that possible? ~Sternhauser [/quote]How is it possible? Hmmmm...Let's see. Perhaps it's because Vermont is a STATE with a population of 621 thousand and the U.K is a COUNTRY with a population of 61 million. You can't compare a state (especially one as small as Vermont) with a fully-fledged country. And just because not many people are killed by guns it doesn't mean that they weren't used (but not fired) in an armed robbery or in another threatening way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 [quote name='Secuutus' date='24 September 2009 - 12:07 AM' timestamp='1253768871' post='1972036'] Yeah i know but I guess I thought I was protecting them like that. idk what came over me. I feel like I saw another side of who I am, and i wasnt scared of it, but i sort of embraced it. Im just glad my mom screamed. cuz ur right, a cop might have killed me. Only one cop car showed up, within 3 minutes, then 2 more showed up after like 5 minutes. By then most those guys were gone, with the exception of a few. [/quote] What came over you is primal instinct, and lots of adrenaline. It is very natural. Fortunately, so is screaming, so your mom might have saved you from harm with her natural instincts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And just because not many people are killed by guns it doesn't mean that they weren't used (but not fired) in an armed robbery or in another threatening way [/quote] The main part of the question was: how can the region with the fewest firearm regulations, where anyone who is not a convicted felon can walk around with a pistol without a background check or a permit, have the next-to-lowest crime rate in the entire State, if firearms cause crime? A crime rate is a crime rate, no matter how many people live in an area. That's the point of a crime [i]rate[/i] as opposed to the [i]number[/i] of crimes. Despite your comparison argument, you have no problem comparing the British murder rate to that of a State forty times larger and far more ethnically diverse? It does not hold water. ~Sternhauser Edited September 24, 2009 by Sternhauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

princessgianna Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 [quote name='Sternhauser' date='22 September 2009 - 07:07 PM' timestamp='1253664475' post='1971233'] Communism? Too specific. You believe in Statism. Statism is the false idea that one has the right to inflict violence on a non-violent adult to make him act according to your will. Whether you use violence against non-violent people personally, or do it by proxy, it is Statism, and it is wrong. My right to carry any defensive weapon violates precisely none of your rights. ~Sternhauser [/quote] And yea let's think on different point of view. Shall we? I am a young unmarried lady. Not excessivly big/ I am more petite. I am walking through the store. Some jerk pulls out a gun and threatens to kill me if I don't cooprate with him. If there are witness All the other law abiding citazens are not armed. They follow the law! Sure you have videotaps but that doesn't do sqaut at the moment. The cops won't be there for another 3 mind. AT BEST! Since you have to publically show a registered firearm at all times. The jerk knows(at least reasonably assume) that no one else has a gun! The following scene I will not describe - let your imagine go wild. All I will say is the end result is I am sexually abused. Now let's discuss this. What happened if I had a firearm hidden and it's all legit. Guess what! I can know protect myself!! At the least wound the bad guy and protect the lives and respect of the innocent. ~ Princessgianna (A princess of God therefore worthy of respect!)
