  1. A gun makes a person more dangerous than one with a knife, generally. But banning either guns, or knives or even both does not address the actual issues that cause these people to lash out. Mental illness, feminism, PC culture garbage etc. Another big thing is people wanting to be (in)famous. You could do something about guns, but those bigger root cause issues are MUCH more important. PS I'm Dutch, not pro-gun or Republican obviously.

  2. ​ Blashtifin  There's hardly any white supremacy in the US, it's a non issue. In the Netherlands it's virtually non-existent. You are a conspiracy theorist, and the media spoon feeding this garbage to the public does not excuse individuals like you. Some points besides that: I agree with some points you make about materialism, as well as big companies having way too much power. But I highly question your objectivity, sanity and/or integrity if what I said about feminism and PC culture is not self explanatory. At best the pendulum has swung far enough, but perhaps it should never have swung at all. Anyway, If you're a US citizen you should count yourself very lucky, just like I count myself very lucky to have been born in Western Europe. But if that's not enough for you you could go and help make other countries better. Western countries are the least violent, racist and sexist in the world, and even in the known history of the world. Move to Brazil, China, Saudi Arabia, any African country etc. See how the people treat you and what you can and cannot do legally. If the US depresses you I doubt you'd last long living in any non Western country mental health wise.

  3.  Blashtifin  Again, it's a non issue. When you're not at your tv or computer how many do you encounter on a daily basis? My advice is that you either go out into the actual world and look at people and talk with them, and/or start listening to different sources. The idiocy of feminism, or at the very least feminism in it's current and more recent form, and PC culture are what can trigger some of those outlashes. But certainly not all, and certainly some just want a reason, any reason, to lash out, be (in)famous etc. They are just factors, some of the causes, not always the cause and not necessarily the sole causes. Feminism and PC culture in today's age are injustices, and injustice is what can easily drive violent behavior. And I'll repeat, which is also along the lines of what Trump said not too long ago: you too are welcome to go try live in non-western countries.

  4. ​ @Worthless1010  While that does happen , there are also instances where it does not (yes, even of those two recent one, at least one was not a white supremacist). But even when you believe every instance to be white supremacy, it would still be a non issue, blown up for various purposes. How many murders were in Chicago that very weekend? Again, if you think this is a big issue, you are unable to comprehend what issues should receive priority. Your sense of scale is warped, and /or your information is off. When the media covers 9 nazi idiots while 100s of black panther idiots, who are exactly the same but much more numerous, and are shouting the same garbage yet are completely ignored by the media and embraced by the surrounding crowd it's not surprising to see so many people like you. But your ignorance, even in numbers, is still not excusable. The few shootings and/or other incidents according to you are representative of a much larger group of people? Generalization based on very, VERY few cases is acceptable and even encouraged according to you? If you want to look even dumber we can pretend we're talking about black perpetrators, who do commit plenty of murders in the US, right? Let's generalize there. Yeah totally acceptable and encouraged now right?
