The obvious is the source.

It is obvious to any who has a mind that has outgrown the gun crazy idealogy of the unwell in this country.

Does "the source" speak only to you? How long have you heard "the source"?

It is obvious that the mental unwell state taught to people telling them that a gun makes them more powerful is the main gun culture problem in this country.

Outrageously speaking here of course or maybe not.

The mental health issue is of course a part of the gun culture but in a more insidious way then just those who we accept are mentally unwell..

The idea that a gun makes one more powerful is in and of itself a mental unwellness that should automatically deny a person the right of a weapon. It is the root of all the gun craziness in this country.


Im gonna go out on a limb here. I think i understand what you are saying and oddly enough, for the most part, i agree.

One of the big things stressed in a concealed carry course is that street smarts is your first line of defense. Having a firearm does not make that dark alley a safe passage. They say if you find yourself willing to go places you wouldn't otherwise go and/or do things you wouldn't otherwise do because you are carrying, then you should leave it at home. Its a big responsibility.

A firearm is a tool. Under a specific set of circumstances it can be used for good (i use the term loosely here), and under a specific set of circumstances it can be used for bad. Sometimes people forget the specifics behind each circumstance.

Topic has gone from guns and cultures to religions and cults to racism.

Those "SPECIAL" groups that holler racism the loudest won't give up their freebies and special rights to become equal with the rest of us.

They can score lower and get admitted ahead of a more qualified applicant in schools and jobs.

Yada, yada, yada.

The "SPECIALS" want equal rights? They need to demand they be treated equally.

The Nation of Islam and Eugene are the same scourge as any Middle East radical islam group.

Eugene is an extremist and his pal, (skin white babies), Shabitch is one of his proteges.

Must be proud of him, no?



which groups get 'special' rights?,,,,laugh


anyway,,,,,,,the topic is 'culture',, isms are also a part of our culture and were introduced in large part because of a certain obsession introduced in this thread with Farrakhan and NOI and the ridiculous assertion that they really have any dangerous impact in relation to gun crimes,,,lol

is this



and this




and this



all a testament to the 2nd amendment right to bear arms/milita?


if so , why are some groups exercising that right, doing so in fear of other groups who are doing the same?




when does it end, or at the least, level out?

FEAR drives it,,, anxiety drives it,,,

how many feel they need a gun to protect against the POTENTIAL of a tyranical government?

how many feel they need a gun to protect against a REPEAT Of HISTORICAL government/racial abuse?

is it sane to indoctrinate our kids into this mindset?,, I wonder,,,

There are many taught and passed down mental unwellnesses to go with the gun craziness. That is not the only one.

It is hard for people to see what they have been taught by those they trust as unhealthy. But it doesn't make it healthy because they refuse to see it.

yeah,, just breaks my heart to see us becoming 'that' country

will our children really be going to schools surrounded by guns? how do we reverse that? How do we become part of a solution instead of part of an even bigger problem?

The mentally unwell hug their guns in fear of losing a false power they believe it gives them.

Kinda like the cape of a superhero. The cape is not the power but the superhero cannot see it.

I hav yet to hear any of the anti-gun voices on here bemoaning the tragic loss of life or the criminal mass murders committed by your own American government. Just a little hypocritical don't you think? Maybe you should be lobbying for the government to disarm, since it has already proved it should never be entrusted with the power & responsibility of guns.

I also don't hear any of the moaning about the current president killing kids by Drone.

Kids of the drones. Look it up.

There are no different realities. There is only one. Your government has proved itself to be a terrorist entity that is killing American citizens. Are you going to sit there and rationalize it, or take action?
