13036173, It's always the wrong culture that gets blamed

So we ban guns, but we don't ban guns in movies? While there are differences the same violent movies/games/movies that we consume are consumed WORLDWIDE. And if you combine the gun deaths in all the other first world countries you have a number that basically just equals Camden, NJ, lol.

America's got a might makes right gene right down to it's very core; I don't think it will ever fix it's gun violence problem because its a nation that was built on gun violence.

Gun violence to commit genocide for land.
Gun violence to keep man enslaved.
Gun violence to spread its sphere of influence.

Can't fix that in schools because that history's been re-written to make the above all positives. Can't fix that in church because if there's anything that pushes the us vs them narrative it's organized religion (men of various faiths being pro-death penalty and 'tough on crime'). Can't fix it in the workforce because as opposed to fair wages/benefits/ etc for all we just care about OUR bonuses and salary, fuck yours.

Basically, we've had it coming for awhile. Its easy to look at the surface issue of it and say guns or gun related entertainment should be banned instead of looking in the mirror and realizing yes, WE ARE THE BADGUYS.
