The Swiss Difference: A Gun Culture That Works

Do you want me to go all Amish on you any modern invention after 1850 or so is the devils work

If you're trying to kill me, I feel like I have a better chance I getting away if you have a bow and arrow and 100% chance if you have a knife.

Ever get the feeling someone was abandoned as a kid?

It depends how close the person with the knife or bow is and how skilled they are in its use. I know a guy who is a sixth dan black belt in Tai Kwan Do and if someone pulled a gun on him at arms length or so, I'd bet that he'd have the gun inserted in attackers rectum before the guy knew what happened.

Any weapon is dangerous if you know how to use it. Even just your fist. If you pull a gun on me and I'm within arm's length, I'd try to disarm you as well.

Since we're moving, I have to check out what the city of RI is like and their gun laws. Might not get one if it's not needed.

If not, I can hook you up with some illegal MA guns.

That's what's up. As long as I can turn them sideways and look cool, count me in!

I'll take my chances that the NB is not so physically inclined.

Yeah but a gun makes it really easy.

You think cause you are skinny you can outrun me. I move like a cat for a big man. Plus what if it is a throwing knife ?

who posts about how many black kids were killed in Chicago on 4th of july.. It is all about black kids getting shot...by other black kids with NO morals . .. We cannot blame the black thug who pulled the trigger... Its the gun ...Welcome to the results of Johnsons great society....You all went from the plantations to the projects. Black men who are unwilling to be involved in their offspring's lives . Black woman that complain they cannot find a good husband and father for their children....Without this moral compass to raise the children into the gangs they slide...Turf wars erupt other kids get shot.... But it is the gun.....Not the morals of the children . Not the failure of black society.... not the failure of black men .who refuse to be fathers of their children..

What simplistic assessment. And of course, bigoted.

TThere is no 'black society', there is just 'society'. But let's carry on pretending that black people are from an alien planet.

... concluded that a “culture of support” rather than focus on individualism, can deter mass killings.

Here is the answer right here. The focus of this culture is completely different than the U.S. where we pride ourselves on individuality, stepping on others to get to the top, twisting the law to fit our individual selfish ways instead of what it was meant for, protection of all.

Ok, I think I have made my point.

Nor did it work for the kids when that guy murdered them and then the grandparents. But that's ok because he must be crazy. That makes it not as scary.

I'll also take the chance that you'll miss me with the knife. I assume I'll outrun you because I run three times a week.
