We’re not 52nd in the nation in education for nothing!

Im no expert but they have significantly less ease of access to guns. According to chatgpt:

Switzerland

Cultural context: Firearms ownership is tied to militia service—most adult men serve in the military and may keep their service weapon at home.

Ownership:

Citizens can own firearms, but permits are required for purchase (background checks, no serious criminal record, no history of addiction or dangerous mental illness).

Automatic weapons and certain high-capacity firearms are restricted.

Carrying guns:

Very tightly restricted—permits for concealed or open carry are rarely issued.

Guns are generally kept at home, not carried in public.

Ammunition:

Service members may keep their rifles but must return military ammunition; private ammo requires separate purchase/permit.

Registration & oversight:

All gun sales are registered with authorities.

Federal and cantonal (state-level) governments oversee firearms closely.

Gun deaths:

Switzerland has a relatively high rate of gun ownership (approx. 27–30 guns per 100 people).

But gun homicide and mass shooting rates are very low, partly due to strict regulation, cultural responsibility, and fewer social/economic drivers of violence.

I really dont know, but i dont think other countries have such an ease of access to guns as we do here. Still, it’s clearly a mental health/culture issue

oh i know - it’s comically stupid to say with such emphasis they’re NOT a right, when they literally are.

Personally, I welcome better regulation of gun ownership, and think the entire reason for the 2nd amendment is from a time long gone. Even the most “well regulated militia” would be easily squashed, short of them having similar firepower to the US Military.

There’s some truth to his statement as far as the numbers go and perhaps some correction is needed. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to entirely remove the stats of African American women, as that would be blatantly racist, but it seems some for of compromise is warranted.

Perhaps counting only half of them? or perhaps slightly more than half, say 6/10ths

Aren’t they literally a right though?

They dont really have the authority to do anything right? Their one job is to be a backup president. It’s like saying an actor’s second didn’t have any lines in the play (because the actor was there to say them all)

I just watched “American Primeval” Super solid - reminds me of the golden years of HBO. And its limited series
