America is a country with very stupid politicians.
You don't get to say that. A country like America, you must know how to use arms and should own a gun. Do you put your life in the hands of Nigerian police or at least put some responsibility on yourself?

Imagine herdsman flood your street, what will you do in such a situation? Call Nigerian Police?

The more the civilization of a country, the more the security needed. Nigeria hasn't gotten to that level but trust me if you are in the North where herdman are killing people daily, you will wish you have guns.

Owning a Gun is masculine, it's a toy for big guys. These are act men must do before they die. Shoot a Gun, go for target practice.

Having the feeling that what's in your hand holds the power to take life and saves lives. Guns don't kill, it's the man who holds it that kills

You are contradicting yourself.

As per the bolded, the reverse is actually the case. The US is the only civilized country with so many guns, and that's because of the 2nd amendment written in the 18th century when there was no good security and America was wild.

Advanced countries have good security and that is why you can go out at 2am without fear, you can even forget to lock your doors without fences/barb wires and nothing will not happen in majority of times.

The excellent security in civilized countries is also why they have an excellent e-commerce system where you can buy stuff online, and it will be delivered to your doorstep without fear of it being stolen.

Hmmm.even the last school shooting sef

The moment the police knew it was an AR15 rifle, they backed off and waited for tactical unit. Some people called them cowards, but they have family to look after.

AR15 are no joke. They year tissues, break ones and in over 90% of gunshot from AR15, victims are not recognizable.
The thing is, it is one thing to own guns, it is another to have the confidence to engage a shooter...

The people with the confidence to engage in the US are not much, even though almost everyone of them owns a gun. This is why long hour mass shooting persists without anyone to engage, even though many of them walk around with guns... They will rather Dail 911, by then many of them must have been dead.

Have you not seen a scenerio where by someone has a weapon to defend him/herself but too petrified (for his/her own life) to use it when attacked? This is the America case.

No one will feel he can ride roughshod on another fellow because he has guns, especially those kidnappers and bandits operating without resistance on highways. It will be level playing field but it isn't going to be cool too...instances like the shootings in the US could be worse here. But this guns are in the hands of those that shouldn't ...govt security agencies shouldn't allow this or be seen as shielding those with it.

Everyman for himself lifestye in the US. . This is while in most cases the US police armed officers are always quick to open fire at suspect, knowing fully that many of citizens bear arms and any little moves a suspect make is a threat to an officer. I just hope united state will quickly addres this issue of gun control.

Just read:
'....10 billion rounds of ammunition is manufactured in the US every year.
Which is enough to pump 32 rounds into every man, woman and child.....'

Or I would say, enough to put a bullet in the head of every humanoid on the face of the earth....
And that means they make a crazeee 27 million rounds of ammo every blessed day..... for what kwa... or over 300 rounds per second day and night, summer and winter.... gaddem..... even hotdogs aren't that hot..... what da.... f.... crazy Yanks....

But the US reality shows that you are the monkey.

Fool with a negative Decimal IQ.

Where are all these gun owners when over 16 people were murdered?

Every year, over 10k people murder through gun violence, mostly innocent people are the victims, but they have this much guns in many household... Are they keeping the guns for photos?

Many times, it takes the arrival of the police to stop a random shooter, but the citizens own guns like the random shooter, but still can't defend and protect themselves? Do you guys think at all.

A coward with a gun, will always remain a coward, and that is what most guns owners in the US are... They mostly dock when they see a shooter, while dailing 911...what a joke. grin grin grin

Omo you are capping shit no offense, you don't just run out to confront a shooter when you don't even know how good and trained he is. Most shooters stay in an advantageous position/cover that is hard for even to get a clear shoot. Moreover you don't even know if the shooter is a seal that has gone rogue and you want to engage him in combat.

Most people keep guns to protect their homes/shop from invaders and arm robbers. That's is why you hardly hear of home robberies.

If some people here are intelligent a bit, a little comparative analysis would have sufficed that the US free guns laws has heightened insecurity in the US.


Compare America with other like countries in the west with restricted gun ownership and tell me which one enjoy peace the most.


One Mumu even dare to Insult others with more IQ than him... If you think you love the US very well not to condemn their undoing, you might be surprise that I love that country much more but I don't bury my brain while doing so even as far my immediate family is concern.

But many people still want to migrate and live with the guns. Says a lot.

There are mad people everywhere.

The major ity of gun violence in the US is carried out by mentally sick people and gangs.

There are over 300 million guns in private hands, if they were as mad as you think, do the math.

Those were terrorist attacks by oyinbos. If you take away one weapon, they'll just find another. Whites are demonic.

What needs to happen is life in prison or the death penalty for anyone involved with white nationalist groups.
