[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of fun control laws, mainly because I don't think they do anything, and are a vestige of trying to prevent Black people from arming themselves in defense against White supremacists.

But I dislike even more the immature hero-wannabes who think that carrying a gun is going to make them powerful and equal.  They'll piss themselves and do nothing useful but think they're Keanu Reeves.  Anyone whose been in a combat situation or had a gun pointed at them knows it's BS.

Bottom line: banning guns isn't making us safer. Arming wanna-bes with concealed carry permits isn't making us safer.  I'd rather work on why people are committing crime and why these men feel so insecure.  Let's work through that before you shoot up a train.[/quote]

“I'd rather work on why people are committing crime and why these men feel so insecure.”

They commit crimes because they’re criminals. They belong to a subculture that treats laws as optional and puts personal perceived gain at the top of the list of motives for their (often impulsive) behavior. Like or hate “broken windows” policing, it showed that the same people committing serious, violent crimes are also the one evading subway fares and ignoring other small laws that contribute to an orderly society. There are lots of reasons for criminal behavior, but I really don’t buy in to the premise that “feeling insecure” is one of them. [/quote]
