"You counted on America to be passive... You counted Wrong!"
The only truth to a western movie is how lonely a life the cowboy actually
lead.
think about it, with all the real time TV shows now, how interesting would
it be if a camera crew followed around a cowboy back in those days?
they added all the gunfights so people would watch the show..
"You counted on America to be passive... You counted Wrong!"
exactly.

The need to be armed is clearly context dependent. Had I been born with the right to US citizenship, then I might have bought some myself...who knows. I don't think I would consider myself "a free man", if I needed a Browning to obtain a sense of security in my own home/country. However, if the alternative is chronic paranoia because everybody else are armed, then it becomes a question of choosing the lesser evil, which in this case would be to get armed asap.
Imo the paradox can only be resolved by reducing crime, which in turn is a matter of reducing social problems.
1000% agree with this statement.
And everyone can carry guns, the problem is most do it illegally by not obtaining a license.
But the MAJOR problem does not lie in the carrier of the gun, but the seller of the gun. Not asking for proper certification and not doing background checks is why we have such a problem in America.
If we wanted to reduce crime, then gun dealers need to be targeted not just the criminals.
What a crap. It was called the wild west because of it being peaceful? And the guns that were used killing the Indians were to fy them? Or was killing the indians the same as going into Iraq? It's such ignorant nonsense saying that it was all that happened in movies wasn't real. There were bounties on people's heads. People had duels and ****. Don't tell me that this only happened in movies.
Getting hands in a illegal gun is easier in a country that sells millions of guns every year then in a country that just sells hundreds. Here you can't get a personal gun unless you work for the force or as a security. And if you want to buy guns for hutting you need a license, that implies making a teoric test (about gun calibers, hunting seasons calendar, how to safely carry a riffle, etc). Of course there are illegal guns used by criminal, but i'm sure not as much as in US, i can say I never saw anyone carry a gun other then a policeman or a military on service. Would i feel more safety if i carried a gun around, yes, does that means i should do it, no.
seems like a shortage of black market guns. hmm might be a gold mine there. lmao
