At Least 150 Killed in Shootings Across the U.S. During July 4th Weekend

The civilian population is relatively safe here, those killed are usually criminals in gangs.

I have never once felt unsafe living in a large metro area with Hispanics and Blacks because I am not involved in foolish activities that increase your chance of death.

No it isn't, stay away from drugs and gangs and you will be safe in most of America. Don't abide by those rules and you are dead just like most other countries.

When I lived in New York my home was robbed once and the police basically said there's nothing they can do about it, at night when I was alone I didn't feel particularly safe.
In China I never experienced any crimes and I feel perfectly safe to go out any time. Safety is never an issue in my mind in China while in the states it's one of the top concerns.

Get a gun if you are scared, oh wait Democrats want it to be hard to protect yourself so impose draconian laws on the civilian population while criminals get their guns illegally as always.

Living in the USA is like living in your very own cocoon of your place of work, schools, shopping centers, community etc., and all within your safe neighborhoods! Venturing outside is little risky...

I lived in a community with a lot of Hispanic gangs growing up, if you MYOB you will be safe 99% of the time.

Get a gun if you are scared,

A gun will protect you only when you shoot first, which I doubt I will.

You mean against a gangster holding his gun sideways off a xanax? A few hours of shooting training and you will be fine.

An Asian woman actually shot 3 and killed 1 intruder a few years back.

Most of the killings are done by Black and Hispanic criminals.

16 of the 50 in Chicago...which is trying to become the 21st Century version of Detroit.
Now only 674,000 people left in Detroit..down from 1.8M.
Chicago is currently 2.7M...let's see how long that lasts.

Then its your problem not shooting first. Intruders in your house, you have the right to shoot them.

Are you also a Gun nut?

Owning a gun for self defense isn't being a gun nut.

The founding fathers intended for every man of age to own a gun, but Liberals like you go against them.

So the solution to the US gun violence problem is.... more guns...? While the USG can just simply wash their hands of the matter and let the public sort it out by themselves...

I'm not sure a society where the general public need to have a gun just to feel safe can be called a "normal / civilized" society..

Criminals will always have guns while the good citizens won't have them to defend themselves regardless if guns are banned outright by tomorrow.

The way you are advocating for guns makes you one, Guns are dangerous and the amount of crazies walking with fully automatic guns in USA is dangerous to say the least.

Are you dumb? Fully automatic guns are very uncommon, expensive(5k for cheap models) and must be produced before 1986 in order to purchase.

Liberals don't know facts.
