Is there one subject, at all, that you can discuss without resorting to your jackass knee jerk responses?

Don't take this personally, but you disgust me. Please "ignore" me.

The article had a lot of great points.

Here's one thing I keep going back to: Switzerland has a gun ownership rate as high as or higher than the US apparently but much less gun violence. Whats the difference? Could it perhaps be that Switzerland is a much wealthier country, per capita, with much less poverty? Is it the disparity and poverty combined with the fact that Americans are taught to idolize violence as a method of solving problems thats causing much of the issues, and its just expressing itself through guns and shootings because thats the most extreme tool we;re given?

Also, apparently murder by baseball bats is higher in the US than murder by guns. Is this true?

That's part of it, yes.

We live in a system that drives people to be this crazy:

But the US has a very strong Bircher element to it missing in other places.

I read something about the psycho-social history of the Scots Irish who came here:

not that but I think that's the same thesis.

no shortage of this, even here on Patrick.net

Maybe some particular type of gun, like shotgun, but not all guns:

That is basically nonsense in this context.
