Kinda the reason we left the old world. You know, to be free of oppression by the overlords. Sadly, a LOT of folks in the U.S. have absolutely ZERO friggin' clue as to why this country is unique. Despite the lyin'king's efforts to portray us just run of the mill NOT exceptional. WRONG! But headed down a bad road. Don't these people wonder why just about everybody wants to come here and leave their awesome homelands? Guess not.

How about arming every household?
When a problem arises, the response time would be much shorter and focused (aimed) at the problem. /sarc

They are continuing with their agenda as if HilLIARy had won- Can you imagine what the government would be doing right now if she had?
Gun confiscation.

I guess the omit Muslim acts of violence in Europe when tallying their count. Along with other instruments used besides guns.
To: rktman
Islamist beheadings must not count in their violence statistics.
To: rktman
Well, considering 65% of Gun Violence is committed by a certain 3% of the population, is deportation also part of the solution?

we would also have to expel or deport most blacks and Hispanics to reach the European level of violence.

Europe does have Chicagoland type gang bangers either.

Like Mexico. They have gun prohibition and low "European" levels of violence. /s
We'll see insurrection and militia warfare with stratospheric levels of violence.

Might want to rethink that philosophy.

Right on, rktman.
That’s why public schools spend almost no time on American history.
Harvard Law School no longer requires Constitutional Law in order to graduate.
You’d be hard pressed to find a historically accurate and complete documentary on places like the History Channel.

I read years ago that if the violence caused by Blacks was removed from the US stats, we’d be lower than Europe.

Those with violent intentions will commit violence even without guns. Liberal politics have made it so too many people have no value system that would prevent them from committing violence.

I bet martial law in about 10 zip codes would get us close to European levels. US levels are not evenly distributed and while it’s probably more than 10 zip codes that are bad, it’s nowhere near 10% of the country that has a problem. And the other 90% probably beats Europe.
But, liberals would rather focus on all guns rather than actual violence.
To: rktman
If you subtract out homicides by blacks and Hispanics, the population of the US which is of European descent has very similar homicide rates as Europe.
