Uber: No guns allowed

There is a corrupt system underlying everything in America. When anything beneficial emerges that threatens the status quo, phone calls are made, arms are twisted, and policies or laws are quickly put into place to make sure everything stays exactly the way it always has been.

Politics is a cynical religion that serves only those in power and facilitates their making a living off of subjugating the masses of weaker and less connected people. There is nothing beneficial in politics whatsoever for the common man.

More legal hand guns in the hands of responsible people is what Chicago needs. Already people in Detroit are starting to clean up some areas by themselves because cops are under-funded or just don't give a shit anymore.

An excellent example of how guns save lives.

Which is why I've never heard this story and it's two months old.

You know the best example of a place where guns save lives: By nobody having them this potential mass shooting wouldn't have happened.

I live in the UK, and the ideological self masturbation regarding the effects of guns in America is a little, worrying. Because here's the thing, due to the fact that I (And the rest of the western world), live in a civilized country, we don't have to worry about mass shootings, we don't have to worry about trigger happy police (Or heck, the police don't have to be worried about the trigger happy population), we don't have to worry that any crime may instantly turn deadly. Also don't have to worry about healthcare because it's free, but that's aside from the point.

The point is the rest of the western world has managed to work out that less guns is a good thing, and instead America looks at the successes there and goes "NAH, I WUNNA SHUUT THUNGSSAKDSLKDSKLDSASDL! MURICA! FUCK YEA!"

Anyone who is legit afraid of being shot in a mass shooting has just been brainwashed by fear mongers. There is, statistically, no actual chance of this happening to you. Your chance of being shot or injured by a police officer; however, are astronomically higher. It really bothers me how people don't look at the actual rates of mass shootings/tewowism in respect to the population overall. Its negligible and fear is simply fueled by hysteria and sensationalist fear mongering.

I'm too lazy to look it up, but I'm pretty sure that your violent crime shot up hand-in-hand with the disarmament of your civilians.

It's true, you worry less about mass shootings. of course you have to put up with more rape and the odd soldier getting his head cut off in broad daylight in the middle of the street while the unarmed civilians shout "won't someone do something!".

The UK has banned guns. And kitchen knifes. They've put cameras up on every street, and in a few people's bedrooms (just bad people's though). They've taken the demands of every harpy SJW and made it law. The UK is a nanny fucking state where they will soon be teaching people how to wipe their asses, blow their noses, jerk off, and adjust their burkas.

If you want to give an example, the UK is the wrong place to use. They are almost universally seen as a joke, cowed and coddled.

It's ridiculous to say that people always need guns to be safe in in a first world country.
