    Basically this, over the years as you could possibly imagine... We have seen our fair share of bad apples coming onto the forums with the sole purpose to release information of a community member, avatars being one method of leaking that private info.

    Gun violence in the US is not that big of an issue when you remove leftist cities like Chicago from the mix.

    Nope, it's a huge problem without Chicago also, Jacksonville merely represented the 234th mass shooting in 2018 (sourced by data from the gun violence archive). Here is how these shootings appear over a national map.

     Sure, it's more prevalent if you don't have a national gun ban but you gotta remember US population is 320m. Sweden is 9m and has grenade attacks every day nobody talks about because it's refugees doing it, and the media wants to paint it as some leftist utopia.

    ?

    There have been 4 cases of grenade involved incidents in Sweden in 2018. 7th January, 21st January, 8th February and a more recent one in August. These are very sad incidents, 1 being completely gang crime related while two involving gangs but also innocent parties, the 4th was an innocent bystander picking up a grenade off the side of the road. What's worrying is how this is being equated to the issue in America. Going by any math these things do not equate.

    Unsure if that is true or not, I don't exactly watch American media so I can't exactly testify against that statement, however it appears to be more notion of one's own beliefs, as shown already by the earlier points made in your statement.

    Gun ownership exists as a hedge against tyrannical government,  personally i don't want the most powerful country in history to risk turning into a fascist sh1th0le led by SJWs so I'm against the US having gun control.

    And now we go off the deep end. Gun ownership does not exist as a hedge against a tyrannical government. If the US government ever decided to impose martial law, take rights away from its citizens and become an autocratic dictatorship, do you think old Jeff from Texas on his porchway with his AR15 is going to do a God damn thing when Uncle Sam comes knocking? Gun ownership exists in America because it is enshrined in the constitution. What many people always, either through willful stupidity or willful ignorance forget is the promise of a WELL REGULATED militia, being necessary to the security of a free state. Even from the left I don't really see many people calling for people's guns to be taken away, rather gun control to be put in place so you cannot get access to a weapon of war, rather than a weapon of defence. You do not need to put 60 bullets into an intruder for safety. I also don't see any Gun rights advocates calling for the right to bear nukes

    The other problem is there's so many guns that there will be a huge dark web market for unregistered guns, people will have no problem buying a gun if they want one.

    That's why lack of action merely allows the state of the issue to worsen, we saw action after the Port Arthur Massacre of `96 in Australia and the Dunblane Massacre of `96 in the UK, both enacted rather strict Gun control laws and statistical data showed it made a difference. I'm not proposing America should instantly adopt the exact same laws, but ignorance of the situation merely leads to a worse situation arising (ignorance of the situation by congress).

    Of course you never hear about when guns saved somebody because it goes against the acceptable narrative. Not long ago some psycho from my town traveled to America to kill his 14 year old e-gf and got shot in the head while trying to break in lmao

    No the person shooting the weapon (unsure of the event just taking your word for it) is the one doing the saving, and picking individual cases rather than looking at statistical data never gives an accurate representation of society.
