    And with that sentence, we've solved the "gun violence" problem. We raised a generation of #######.

    I guess you really cannot read .. I specifically have said several times the number of "Events" per capita, not the number of deaths.
    Since you've had five chances now to defend your statement that the US has then most shootings per capita and have yet to actually provide proof I'm done with this thread.

    I agree with that. And I am definitely not advocating violence I’m just telling you the history. But I think you underestimate what might transpire in a perfect storm. That would be a breakdown and dissension among government including our military. Let’s say Biden woke up today and decided he was going to send troops into all populated areas across America and confiscate guns? First of all half if not 75% of those troops would refuse to follow those orders. And total chaos and breakdown of the structure would follow. Leveling the playing field.

    also, even our own top military leaders will tell you if America was ever invaded, the number one reason the enemy couldn’t occupy and totally control America is because there’s so many guns here. Kind of like what you see happening in Ukraine only it would be even more challenging in America. That said nobody’s getting past our military And physically occupying this country. The only way America will ever be destroyed in a military battle is with nuclear weapons. Or from within.

    The scenario where the average citizen having firearms would come into play would be a complete an absolute breakdown of the governmental structure and probably society. And I for one don’t know about you but I feel like with the crap going on in this world today I could see a scenario like that happening.

    To all of the anti gun nuts listen. The second amendment is absolute. Until you can get a two-thirds vote in the House and Senate and three-fourths of the state's to amend it..... You are just pissing in the wind. Our rights are not open for debate.

    In under 1½ minutes the 2nd amendment can be explained.

    When people try to adjust the meaning of the 2nd to fit into their narrative you can reasonably assume that they are either lying to you or they are ignorant.
    More often I find they are intellectually dishonest. They have a fanatical belief in gun bans and will only look for reinforcement of those beliefs and dismiss all contrary evidence out of hand.

    Again, from the link

    "From 1998–2012, 41 of all 138 public mass shootings
    by single perpetrators worldwide were committed in the United States. That
    represents 29.7 percent. Because America had in those years approximately 4.5
    percent of the world’s population (according to Lott and Moody’s calculations),
    this indicates that based on their own data, the United States had more than six
    times its global share of public mass shooters"
    Here's the full article from the footnote
    Comparing the Global Rate of Mass Public Shootings to the U.S.’s Rate and Comparing Their Changes Over Time by John R. Lott :: SSRN
