I'll take it by your refusal to answer that a truthful answer would be inconvenient for your side of the argument.

First of all, you didn’t answer my question. My question was: Given that access to firearms has not changed, how do you account for the increase in gun crime if not for a cultural malaise that affects society as a whole?

Secondly, yours was a stupid question because I am clearly not just saying that these things are happening, I am saying that they have drastically increased in number or gotten worse in a relatively short time.

Hell, we lived through the 1960's...talk a collective loss of national pride. As for folks supposedly having some sort of new found sense of entitlement...you should have seen the 1980's--the so called "me" generation.

Again, this is not unique to the USA. What is unique to the USA is the almost comical availability of guns to whomever can scrape enough pennies together to buy one from any gun show.

Again, the “comical availability” of guns has never changed. Therefore, firearm availability is not a factor in the increase in mass shootings and gun crime. Or at the very least, it is not the only factor.

Ghost of a Rider ... are you a democrat?

Nope. Why?

if we could only get those criminals to obey the law and not kill people,,

If we could only get those leftists Politicians and judges to enforce the laws already on the books

WAPO is behind a paywall. The OP/ED cites the WAPO story. 338,000 +/- students have been in a school that suffered a school shooting. The reporter cited that five years earlier when he did the research, it was 187,000.

Unbelievable. Students in every other advanced nation do not have to bear that yoke. It strains the imagination to consider what this means long term.

Littwin: The mass shootings never seem to end, but one analysis says there may still be hope

A Washington Post story five years ago showed 187,000 kids had been affected by school shootings since Columbine. Now it’s 338,000.

This guy should have never had access to a gun after his run-in with the cops. It was the legal system that let these kids down. Blame a leftist, not the gun

Other nations have mentally ill people.

Other nations chuck gay people off roofs, what's your point?

The change happened because of the democrat parties, “Great Society,” that destroyed poor families…going into the 1960s our crime rate was going down……the Great Society began the process of creating fatherless homes, which then created generational poverty and crime……and fatherless boys who became criminals ………..

Access to firearms has changed. Credit has rapidly expanded thus making acquiring weapons more affordable. Gun laws have been relaxed allowing permit-less carry. Additionally Americans have much more disposable income . Furthermore the secondary purchase market (gun shows and pawn shops) now feature weapons outside of the normal distribution channels.

So your premise is, simply put, wrong.

Again...your premise is wrong if you think nothing has changed. It has changed legislatively, financially, and culturally.

 

[candycorn]

Nope. Why?

LAUGHatLEFTISTS thinks you are because of your beliefs about American culture.

You sound envious of those other nations.

its not permitless carry its CONSTITUTIONAL carry, thats because we all have a right to own and carry arms of any type,,

Hence the weekly bloodbaths that you celebrate as the "costs of freedom" as I recall.

 

[candycorn]

The truckers were intimidated and threatened. No conspiracy, fact. You are an uninformed dummy.

Earlier you said they were arrested.

They are thrown in jail for speech in those countries. They are not free.

Now you're saying they weren't.

The next time you bring up a fact will be the first time you bring up a fact.

Some were, you idiot.

 

[candycorn]

Some were, you idiot.

Yeah, for assaulting police officers and blocking traffic.

People should be arrested for assaulting police officers and blocking traffic.

None of this is for free speech. You're simply lying.
