Okay, let's just take, for example, the UK. In the UK, abortion is legal and yet they don't have a worldwide reputation for having a 'violent gun culture.' In the UK, single women get pregnant and have children and the welfare system takes care of them, just like in the US, yet the UK is not known for having a 'violent gun culture.' The British are just as materialistic as Americans. In fact, everything is the same in the UK, everything you mention here, except guns, the availablity of guns. The only difference is the availability of guns.
So, you are blaming everything but guns on the problems in the US; whereas, other countries have the same problems and the same circumstances and are not violent societies with worldwide reputations for being 'violent gun culture.'
Hmmmmm......could it be the gun afterall????? Duh.
The culture in the UK is not the same. Nice try though.
I've spent a great deal of time in the UK, have you? All of the things you mention as being cultural problems in the US: abortions, single women on welfare, the break up of families, etc., all of those things are the same in the UK. So your points, which I addressed, do not support the contention that it is those things that are the problem in America. The only thing that is different in the UK, based on your own premise, is guns. It is the guns, not abortion, not the welfare system, not the break down of the family, not being a secular society, etc., that is making the US a 'violent gun culture.'
Yep, I also have a son that works in the UK
