USA: land of the (not) free?

Not open for further replies.
I personly also disagree︂ on gun control.It makes the transformation for them way more difficult.
However i agree on︃ the violance we see now in the US but this is caused by TV and︄ social groups like BLM .
TV's showing young kids that being a small criminalist is︅ being cool and that they are the good ones.
In reality it creates a lot︆ of prisoners for small crime which are the cheapest workers you can get in the︇ world.
So there is a big interest of high amount of prisoners as they work︈ for nearly free.

Owning a gun was not only for protection which in the 80's︉ and 90's were not needed but to hold government in control.
A gun changes the︊ attitude of your enemies like healthcare people who want to force vax you for example︋ drasticly
 
I lived in west europe and north america so I can compare, I could be‌ killed two times in west europe with zero right to defend myself and no justice.‍ It never happend to me in north america because you can still find safe place,⁠ actually i am not armed when I walk in the streets in america but i⁤ am in western europe.

In my opinion If you choose to live in atlanta or⁣ chicago then you come to cry that it's not safe, it's just called natural selection,⁢ also for exemple murder in montana are very low,
I talk because I know the︀ places I'm talking about, I don't go out of sensational articles to support my words.︁ Just my real life and experience.
 
Citing "The Atlantic"? If‌ you do not know, The Atlantic is the most socialist mainstream American magazine in the‍ U.S. You literally cannot believe anything that it publishes. In fact, someone just wrote an⁠ expose about The Atlantic about a week ago, explaining its history and how it was⁤ purchased by a billionaire socialist in 2017 and then transformed into an anti-American socialist attack⁣ machine.

I usually do not attack a source, only bad information. But in this case,⁢ I can do so without any remorse.

Agreed. I seldom go armed in the U.S., unless I must travel to a︃ bad area (which is what happened in that incident that I recounted), but I always︄ carry some type of weapon while traveling internationally, especially to Latin America. I usually carry︅ a steel pen. They do not get flagged at airports and they are also useful︆ for writing.

Depending on what I think I can get away with, it could be︇ a tactical pen or just an ordinary pen with a solid steel tube. Mostly, I︈ carry because I am unfamiliar with all the areas of a big city. Obviously, I︉ research bad areas before my trip and I do my best to stay out of︊ them, but sometimes stuff happens. I also know the statistics: most parts of the world︋ are more dangerous than 99% of the U.S.
 
Much better source. This article explains the reasoning:

Life expectancy in the U.S. did indeed decline during the COVID era.⁢ In fact, deaths rose by 40% amongst younger people. There was actually one week last︀ year where more people in the U.S. died in the wake of receiving a vaccine︁ shot than who died from COVID itself. This was determined by using the federal government's︂ very own statistics. But such deaths also happened on a worldwide basis as stupid people︃ continue to take the vaccine shots and additional "boosters," which are actually just additional vaccine︄ shots. The bad health effects are likely cumulative, so matters will only get worse as︅ the herd gets culled.

Yes, the U.S. is now beginning to rival Europe in terms︆ of overt control by socialist technocrats, at least in regard to health care. At least︇ in the U.S., this issue is now at a tipping point and might tip toward︈ freedom. Meanwhile, Europe has been ruled by socialist technocrats for decades and anti-EU parties are︉ still in the minority.
 
The abrupt fall is "basically catastrophic," said Mark Hayward, a University of Texas sociology professor︆ who studies changes in U.S. mortality.

Killers other than COVID-19 played a role. Drug overdoses︇ pushed life expectancy down, particularly for whites. And rising homicides were a small but significant︈ reason for the decline for Black Americans, said Elizabeth Arias, the report's lead author.

Other problems affected Black and Hispanic people, including lack of access to quality health care, more︉ crowded living conditions, and a greater share of the population in lower-paying jobs that required︊ them to keep working when the pandemic was at its worst, experts said.

Life expectancy︋ is an estimate of the average number of years a baby born in a given︌ year might expect to live. It’s an important statistical snapshot of a country’s health that︍ can be influenced both by sustained trends such as obesity as well as more temporary︎ threats like pandemics or war that might not endanger those newborns in their lifetimes.

For decades, U.S. life expectancy was on the upswing. But that trend stalled in 2015, for️ several years, before hitting 78 years, 10 months in 2019. Last year, the CDC said,‌ it dropped to about 77 years, 4 months.
 
Lower than what‍ first world country? Give me facts my friend? Don't debate with no facts just name⁠ a few first world countries please or rest your case....lol?

Plenty of countries enjoy these freedoms without needing to have a︂ gun. If you need a gun to be free then your not really free are︃ you 🙄.

So this happens in America the land of the free your saying? 😕

I agree with some of what you say. But︈ come on now mate...lol.
 
my personal opinion⁣ is that the missuse of guns in the US is mainly being caused by brainwashing⁢ via TV lowering the border to use guns.Attracting people to be small criminals.
There was︀ a nice article in the past which confirmed that the music industry is reasing small︁ criminalist on purpose as one of their hidden main sponsors are prisons (free work force).︂
I agree there were also in the past misuse of guns but not to that︃ extent and only in bad areas and also the society was totaly diffrent than todays︄ one.
I can't say i feeled unsafe in the US in the end of the︅ 90's .The only shock i had was the big amount of black people which looking︆ in european tv diffrently.

However i agree that the right to own guns its a︇ tool to protect against corrupt governments.
Lets see for example germany.Till today germany has no︈ real government.
They have no constitution and are still under US control.
The government is︉ basicly facist hiding behind communism and people can't do s**t even they try hard for︊ over 30 years to get themself an own constitution back.
What happens when you get︋ active ?You get visits by police force and are fined to death.
We call germany︌ a tier 1 country high democratic but to get independant and see how quickly you︍ will see the ugly facist face.
The most funny thing is that even other countries︎ doesn't recognise arrest warrants from german courts.
Such a high stand they have there.
 
There are streets in Bahamas?

This can happen⁣ in some African shithole?
And if it can happen in US then it's also a⁢ shithole - just first world one...

If you have to defend your freedom with a︀ gun or need a carry a gun to protect yourself - then IMO you're not︁ free.

Dude, LOL
And that's how you end︃ up in jail and become stats...

Dude, I as a foreigner, have walked to darkest corners of Berlin without a︅ gun and never felt unsafe.

I guess you made︇ this up or read it on Fox news LOL
 
learn to read.
I wrote clearly germans citizens are trying to get rid of the US⁢ but have no power because the state has the monopol of force.
I never wrote︀ in germany/berlin its unsafe

If you have no clue i would︂ be silent instead of giving my indoctrinated garbage out
 
Just like in many “progressive utopias,” crime in France is on the rise. Last week,‌ four robbers broke into the home of a 35-year-old farmer in the French village of‍ Longre. The man was with his three-year-old daughter at the time. Concerned for his daughter’s⁠ safety, he fired a rifle at the trespassers, killing one of them. The father has⁤ now been indicted for murder. Let us pray that the judge is sane, even if⁣ the prosecutors are not.

Reacting to the news, French President Macron said he is “opposed⁢ to self-defense” because “otherwise it becomes the Wild West.” He said he did not want︀ a country where “it's up to the citizens to defend themselves." Apparently this father was︁ supposed to permit the criminals who entered his house to do whatever they wanted to︂ his home and family.

If you have socialist retards in charge of your country,︃ then you need firearms to defend both your family and your freedom. When liberal retards,︄ such as Macron, give up their own bodyguards and their guns, only then will they︅ have the moral authority to teach the rest of us how to live our lives︆ and defend our families.
 
Absolutely insane that we live︇ in a world in which the vast majority of the strongest and 'most developed' nations︈ have laws that severely punish you for protecting your family from physical violence in your︉ OWN home. There shouldn't even be a discussion about this, you would think it's common︊ sense. Maybe we are just slightly advanced monkeys after all.
 
It is like anything else in life.‍ If you plan and practice, of course it can help. But not preparing is preparing⁠ to fail.

Know the bad neighborhoods and stay out of them, be aware of your⁤ surroundings, mount an immediate defense and counterattack -- but only long enough to escape. The⁣ whole plan for real life self-defense is not to stay and win a fight, but⁢ to surprise your attacker long yourself so that you may escape from the area.

But it is also highly fact-specific. If it is very obvious they just want your money︀ and will otherwise leave you alone, just give them the cash. It is not worth︁ the risk of injury or having to injure someone else.
 
That's the most troubling thing in the news.⁣ On the other hand, perhaps it needs to get worse, before it can get better.⁢
