1. Proliferación de Armas y Estadísticas Impactantes.
Los usuarios señalan que la violencia armada es un problema exclusivamente estadounidense, impulsado por la existencia de más armas de fuego en manos de civiles que habitantes, lo que resulta en tasas de mortalidad significativamente más altas que en otros países desarrollados.
- Fact there are more civilian-owned firearms than people in the united states. Current estimates suggest there are over 500 million firearms in circulation compared to a population of approximately 345.4 million people. Gun violence is a uniquely american problem.
- There are now over 400 million guns in america. More guns than people. Who else can these guns be used against other than ourselves?
- On average, 132 people in the united states die from gunshot wounds everyday.
- Myth guns dont kill people, people kill people. Fact people with guns kill people, and more efficiently than people without guns. The us gun death rate is 13 times that of other high-income countries.
2. El Mito de la Autodefensa y la Realidad de la Violencia.
Se cuestiona la utilidad de las armas para la autodefensa, argumentando que la insistencia en el derecho a portarlas solo conduce a la muerte de inocentes. Además, se critica a los defensores de la Segunda Enmienda (2A) por su inacción ante la tiranía que supuestamente debían combatir.
- Weird how this so-called self-defense thing that 2a people insist they cant live without, actually just keeps resulting in wholly innocent harmless people getting killed over and over, isnt it.
- The biggest problem is the myth that guns are useful for self-defense. They are not. The fact is that having a gun in your house endangers everyone in the house.
- Where are all the 2a people who said that they needed guns to defend themselves from a tyrannical government?
- The only people on this planet or any other who didnt realize it would be the fascists who take away their guns were the 2a people.
3. La Interpretación de la Segunda Enmienda (2A) y la Política.
La discusión política se centra en la influencia del Partido Republicano y la NRA, quienes son vistos como facilitadores de la libre circulación de armas. Se rechaza la frase común "las armas no matan, las personas matan" como una excusa para evitar la regulación.
- Guns dont kill people. People kill people. Very stupid, hate filled moronic people kill people and they use guns to do it.
- The party which allows all of these guns to circulate so freely is the republican party. Its a gun control problem.
- Trump now wants open carry in all states. Trump continues to unleash a violence in our country that can only fuel rageful, psychotic destruction in people who have no soundness of mind or morality.
- The nra has spent more than 100 million to help elect republicans who will support their extreme agenda, including trump. When dead people became an acceptable price to pay to preserve second amendment rights, the nra became a domestic terrorist organization.
4. El Impacto Social: Miedo, Salud Mental y Normalización de la Muerte.
La constante amenaza de tiroteos ha normalizado la violencia y ha generado un clima de miedo, llevando a grupos históricamente marginados (liberales, personas de color, LGBTQ+) a adquirir armas para su protección. La crisis de salud mental se identifica como un factor agravante, facilitado por el fácil acceso a las armas.
- More liberals, people of color and lgbtq say theyre buying guns out of fear.
- We live in a violent country with a gun problem. The only surprising thing about the shooting in dc today is how surprised people seem to be about it.
- The increase in stress and hate in this country, along with the growing number of mentally unstable people not receiving care, and the ease of obtaining guns is a deadly combination.
- I thought when guns became the leading cause of death among kids that people would wake up - wow was i wrong.
