The Ultimate Winner
Little bit of exaggeration. But one the downfalls of loving falls living in the US is security. Especially for kids...they have be suprvised at all times, which is not the case in lot of countries. Since 1st grade my parents never dropped me off, I always walked safely with no feat.All of the above, except the home schooling but still worried about my kids getting shot or kidnapped....something I didn' have to worry about growing overseas....America is a dangerous place to live for sure. We need to make it better by banning guns, so the damage is minimal.Demographics of this country is changing rapidly so will the voting. No one would've guessed that a black can be president in a country where racism was a norm not long ago. Cons are up in arms against diversity and immigration because they know that it will kill lot of their stupid laws and outdated regulations and amendments. I'm in LA not one person I know or spoke is pro gun...and the country is moving away from conservatism .....qnd by saying conservatism, is the radical version of it (racist, bigoted, pro gun, anti immigrants, ect...) I will give it max 20 or 30 years. We will have a Hispanic president before that too, hopefully from a Mexican decent.The poll I linked was from November of 2017, so read it and tell me what you think. All you need is two thirds of the House and two thirds of the Senate to approve eliminating the 2nd Amendment then 3/4 of the states to ratify the repeal of the amendment.
Also, if you would have looked at the poll, in 1959 60% of Americans favored a gun ban, now it is only 28%. So, you have a long road and a long time to change opinions. What is interesting is that although gun ownership is under 50%, 71% oppose the banning of guns.
Time for America to join the civilised world and abolish their deadly toys.
So, how does your fears of getting shot effect your daily life? Are you afraid to go out in public? Do you home school your children? Do you just shop online so you don’t have to face the public and the possibility of getting shot?
So you actually don’t go out in public at all? You never go shopping and only shop online because you are so afraid?
I really don’t fear going out at all. If you feel America is that dangerous why would you raise your kids here? That seems pretty fucked up that you are so afraid of violence but you don’t protect your own children, if I felt other places would be safer for my kids, I’d move in a heartbeat, I wouldn’t hesitate.
Maybe you should move to a safer state than California, my state is one of the safest.
And don' get me wrong I love this country, but it has its flaws.
I guess it is what you think it to be. I always walked to school and when we moved I took a bus. My kids in grade school walked to school until they had to take a bus to the high school. We lock our house at night most the time but I’m not worried about harm coming to any of us. Not sure what it would be like to worry like you do.
