But you aren't hating on murderes, you are hating on Americans and Gun owners...
I don't need a gun to "feel as a man"... Infact I own 0 firearms. But that doesn't stop me from thinking that responsible Americans should be allowed to own firearms... Many people live in very ghetto areas, Many people live out in the boonies where cops would take an hour or longer to reach them, even if they were able to call the cops, many people enjoy hunting and many people just enjoy going to a shooting range and shooting at targets... Owning a firearm does not mean you are a bloodthirsty murderer and being an American and also supporting peoples rights to own a firearm doesn't make you a bloodthirsty murderer either.
I'm all for stricter regulation on firearms in the form of more thorough background checks as well as mandatory background checks for every sale of a firearm whether its commercial or private and regardless of what state it is in. What I don't agree with is taking away everyone's firearms because of a handful of sensationalized cases of mass murderes and islamic scum using firearms to harm innocent people...
Hating a nation full of people because there are a lot of guns here makes no sense. It makes you a bigot with misled prejudice.
That's cute, How about you make a list of terrorist attacks in the last 50 years in which the perpetrators were not islam, and I'll make a list of terrorist attacks in which perpetrators were inspired by islam and we see which list has more casualties.
