ThE DuCk >"Patriots aren't anti-American"
Well let me tell you, everything the US government stands for (assassination of children in countries the US is not at war with by drone, torture, civil asset forfeiture, PATRIOT Act, NDAA, PRISM) is anti-American to the core.
But fuck patriotism, fuck nation-states, fuck borders. But these "patriots" are way more American than someone who sides with the government.
>"sound more like domestic terrorist"
They said the same thing about many people in the civil rights movement. One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
The biggest terrorist is the US government. Running guns into Mexico so the cartels can murder people. Funding, arming and training South American cartels so they'd fight communism. Sponsoring terrorism everywhere. The US armed and trained the Afghan rebels for them to fight the Soviets, then they began fighting amongst themselves so the US and Pakistan intelligence created the Taliban.
The US armed "moderate" rebels in Syria and now they're called ISIS. And you think gun owners are the terrorists?

Alex Unity Okay stop misspelling my name, I'm not a Spaniard.
Again, if you don't agree with the government's mistakes you have no issue being offended, but apparently you're compelled to defend actions you're willing to admit are wrong? Why?
>"you are probably in college getting financial aide from my tax money"
1. I'm not.
2. You're probably from a State that takes more taxes from the Federal government than it gives back, since apparently it's okay to make assumptions about other people.
>"America is not perfect but by far it is way better than Mexico"
That's a bad argument, compare yourself to the kid with straight As, not the kid in the back eating white glue.
>"the war on drugs has been over for almost two years so maybe you should update your information"
Nope. Until decriminalization, drugs being illegal increase the violence and murder. Portugal decriminalized drugs and the number of addicts dropped 50% in 10 years, along with preventing HIV and Hep transmission from needle sharing.
Prohibition only ended when booze became legal. Until then, gangsters were shooting up each other.
>"ultimately i just dont understand why you would want to live in a country where you feel that the government is so bad."
Because every government is bad. Every government uses the threat of force and kidnap to steal taxes. 90% of the governments have strict gun control laws that are arbitrary and deny it's citizens their basic right to self-defense.
Remember learning history and you thought "why didn't just the peasants run away from the feudal lords?"? Well, there's your answer.

Shkotay D But wait, supposedly most of Mexico's illegal guns are also from the US (and this has been proven to be false, most Mexican crime guns cannot be traced - the cartels get guns from the police and military and they put the blame on Americans) and the US-Mexico border is heavily patrolled. By your logic, Canada should have as much violence as the US because it's even easier to smuggle guns into Canada than Mexico.
But it doesn't. Clearly, your country has cultural, social and economical reasons to have less gun crime. Compare Toronto to LA or Chicago. Compare one of your states to Alabama or Tennessee. You guys are wealthier and your poor do not have to kill each other to secure a corner where to sell drugs.
You've defeated your own argument? Suicides in general fell! How does the lack of guns make people not want to tie a noose? "My neighbour surrendered his guns, I guess I won't inhale my car's fumes" - how the fuck does that work? And gun suicides were dropping since the 80's, way before the buyback. And by the way, even back in 2005 gun ownership was higher than before Port Arthur in New South Wales. Today, the government officials are blaming America for a resurface of gun culture in Australia. Reduction of suicides predated and had nothing to do with gun control, and they kept dropping even after gun ownership resurfaced.
