74 school shootings since Sandy Hook. More dead today.

Fight a stupid idea? Fight your stupid idea?

Any time you hear about someone's secret ideas from someone else it has to be true. Right?

If that deviant asshole is looking for other ways to kill you, you and your ilk just roll over and offer up your throats?
Why doesn't that surprise me?

As a law abiding citizen, I can use deadly force to protect myself.

Whether that force comes from a barrel of a gun or by dropping a gun-less gun safe on said same asshole's head doesn't matter.

It's your life. You know, kill or be killed.

It's amusing to watch you jump to that conclusion, Speedy. What has been pointed out to you is that your "demographic" comparison is completely invalid, Speedy. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Like I said before, I've cut off responding to IB An Idiot's posts because he is incapable of understanding the most basic thoughts of anyone else, not just myself. You are in the same category. Never respond as to why someone else is incorrect, just that you're correct and then you descend into the ever-present name calling.

Here is an article from http://www.businessweek.com/stories/...nancial-advice as to why Russia is so violent.
Please not how often the author refers to economic factors as being the main reason why violence in
Russia is so high.


Why is Russia so violent?


Relatively high rates of violent crime are common in mid-income countries such as Russia, Brazil, and Mexico, where rapid economic change coexists with poverty, inequality, and social problems.


It's clear that the major social and economic changes of the last two decades have had a major impact on Russian crime rates, including violent crimes. The crime rate doubled between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s, when Russia was in the throes of its transition from the Soviet system to a market economy. Criminologists believe that the social problems associated with the transition, such as rising alcoholism and drug addiction, and strains on family life caused by economic difficulties, explain the sharp increase in violent crimes.


The 1990s also saw the emergence of business-related violence and organized crime. But these represent a relatively small share of all violence in Russia, which is mainly the result of domestic disputes. In a country long known for its love of hard liquor, alcohol abuse is a major factor, contributing to around two-thirds of all Russia's murders. When former President Gorbachev briefly restricted alcohol sales in the late 1980s, the rate of violent crime fell dramatically.


If the Russian crime wave of the late '80s and early '90s coincided with economic recession, then the latest rise is taking place against a background of strong economic growth. That may well provide a clue as to why the crime rate is shooting up again. As ever more Russians acquire expensive modern gadgets such as cars, laptops, and mobile phones, there is no doubt a lot more around to steal, and more incentive to report crimes.


Criminologists say that a trend toward less violent crime and more property crime, together with an overall increase in the crime rate, is normal as a country's level of income rises. In that sense, crime in Russia may be beginning to resemble crime in the developed world.

If you continue to disagree, fine. How about this time you explain "why" the author and I are wrong.

Live long and prosper.

Tell me what demographics we share with Chile, Cuba, Aruba, Liberia, Uzbekistan, Timor, Vietnam, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Yemen? NONE!! Yet these are the countries with very similar homicide rates per capita as the U.S.

Now what demographics do we share with countries like the U.K., Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Denmark, France, Canada, Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore. Sweden, and Norway, to name a few? Very similar strong economies and high education levels. Yet our homicide rates per capita are a minimum of 2x any of those countries.

I realize that you will be unlikely be able to understand this valid comparison which is why you've earned the title as the dumbest person on this board.

Now let's heard WHY you conside such a comparison invalid.

IDIOT.

Maybe if you're lucky the AG of Wyoming will try to bring another lawsuit before the SCOTUS trying to invalidate all states laws regarding concealed carry requirements.Where do you stand on that one? Have you come to the realization that YOU LOST?

BTW, Speedy, the 14th Amendment wasn't part of the Bill of Rights and the Supreme Court's interpretation of how the 14th Amendment imposed the Bill of Rights on states came long after the Bill of Rights were enacted. Just a FYI, Speedy, for your edification.
