    The reality, i.e. what was determined from the observable facts, was
    that Trump was the one trying to steal the election. I'm surprised
    that that has attracted so little attention.

    The 90-odd cases he tried to attack the result with - and lost - shows it
    was a non-story. Due process worked as intended.

    Then, he let his petulance get the better of himself and lead a riot to the capitol.

    Not morally.

    Are you saying that Trump has never done anything morally wrong? You've completely lost any sense of reality.

    At the very least he cheated on two of his wives. He sexually assaulted one woman (probably more) and he defrauded several banks and the IRS.

    The legal system very rarely has anything to do with

    Prosecuted under criminal statutes, not sued under civil.

    Why? Civil law is just as important.

    Nobody is saying it should be.

    That's not true. You're saying he's done nothing wrong and shouldn't face trial. The courts should decide.

    All laws that punish mere possession of firearms by peaceable men, for one, if you really want to get into that debate.

    Why do "peaceable men" need to have a gun? In modern society there's no

    When everyone is carrying a gun you can't differentiate between the good
    and bad guys. When you ban guns the bad guys are easy to spot.

    But "muh freedom" is more important. Idiots the lot of them.

    It's the cops that are there spotting those with illegal guns. No waiting required. You're making the mistake of only considering active shooters.

    Maybe in the US the police are too slow/incompetent/cowardly to respond effectively(see Uvalde, Parkland, et al). In other countries the police are more professional.

    You know, Canada is pretty much identical to the US from a
    cultural/socio-economic standpoint and yet there is this one weird thing: >>>>
    We have far FAR fewer people getting killed by firearms; more then 5
    times fewer.

    Canadians are just nicer than USians.  OTOH, "they're not even a real
    country anyway!"

    That's your best is it?

    Not worth the full effort.

    We have lots of guns and lots of criminals. More than we have cops.

    No different than most western countries.

    Aside from wishing, and in the full knowledge that this situation will continue for the indefinite future, what do you think the average law-abiding citizen should do in case of attack by a criminal?

    Just like in any other country. Call the professionals. Remember the vast majority of criminals have no interest in seriously harming you. It takes effort, it's risky and increases jail time if caught. They want submission
    and compliance.

    Yeah, most people don't carry. Would there be more or less crime if
    armed criminals KNEW that their intended victims were NOT carrying?

    The US has more serious crime than any equivalent country. It also has more civilian held guns.

    Other countries have less crime so:
    Fewer guns = less serious crime

    That's all the effort I'm going to put into an argument that's gone on
    for decades.

    And has been solved in several countries through gun control.

    Self-defense is not vigilantism.

    Pre-empirically carrying a gun is not "self-defence". Its weakness.
    Billions of people are quite capable of not becoming a victim without
    needing guns for "self-defence".

    Yes, screaming I AM NOT A VICTIM at the thug with a knife will
    definitely send him on his way abashed and save Granny from being
    harmed. Or perhaps you were thinking of the umbrella with the sharpened tip?

    Do you believe that we, outside the US, do not live in constant fear of
    being attacked despite not have guns readily to hand? Not only do we have
    less violent crime we also fear violent crime less.

    You still haven't explained why the US has so many more deaths than
    other countries similar to it.

    I have no idea why. Do you? Perhaps we are just violent people.

    Given that this is true, how do we best protect ourselves when law enforcement is too far away to be protective?

    You do it by running away or trying to de-escalate the situation. Guns
    don't improve the situation.

    More significantly you improve the life choices for those who think violent crime is their only option i.e. reduce poverty and inequality.

    A few nights ago a guy pulled a knife on a woman, forced her to drive to
    a different location and raped her. This happened a few blocks away.
    What should she have done?

    That's terrible and a horrible crime that unfortunately happens in all countries.

    Now add 1-2 guns to the equation. Does increase or decrease the chances of someone being shot? Given the perpetrator is the more agressive one it's
    more like the victim will be shot even if it's her own gun.

    Because those countries are similar to the US in terms of wealth, social

    Mexico has fierce gun laws
    and a much higher murder rate.
    And there is a lot more poverty in Mexico.


    Poverty doesn't cause crime.

    When linked to inequality it does.

    There are plenty of poor civilized people,

    The difference is that in developed countries there's alot of clear inequalities between the haves and have nots and the wealthy only have interests in becoming richer. In poorer countries people are more similar.

    It isn't (absolute) poverty on its own, it's inequality and relative
    poverty which drives desperation and crime.

    The country needs to obtain some form of common sense.

    Are these kids suburban whites?

    Watch the racist speak!

    Noticing is "racist". LOL!

    Yes.

    HINT: Race matters. It matters a LOT.

    No, it doesn't. What matters is that people force others to live in
    conditions they would not accept for themself. Unfortunately those in
    power in the US are often white and the others not. But this does not
    mean, that black people are "naturally" different.


    "Housing discrimination" has been illegal in the United States for over
    fifty years now.

    Just like gender discrimination. It still happens all over the place.

    There is no forcing blacks to live in the conditions
    they live in.

    Discrimination is not the same as "forcing".

    It's not our fault that they shit in their nests.

    Race matters.

    To racists.
