枪手在这个坛子里回帖,挑起了一个关于国旗的话题。不知道别人怎么想,枪手总觉得既然在这个国家里生活的几十年,总希望她繁荣昌盛,而不是土崩瓦解。下面的图片来自以前的博客,欢迎朋友们发表自己的见解!博文的文字部分都删掉了,为了突出重点。




枪手以己度人,几乎肯定各位都希望生活在平静安宁的环境,不说铸剑为犁,起码应该手枪更多是用来打靶休闲。只可惜这美好的愿望,似乎可能永远离我们而去。近来的疫情加上骚乱,更有国际政治上的原因,把我们在美华裔,步步推向风口浪尖。感受到周围朋友的心情,仿佛此时此国,此地此景,没有枪真的是不行!

The president-elect of Argentina said he's going to let people have guns, if I remember it right. Actually I hope he can eventually do it. It will be nice to have someone else to run an experiment for us at no cost.
又回到原来的问题,做为华裔的我,此地此国,此时此刻,应不应该拥枪?再贴一次照片,应该很有代表性
The fact is, you and I have seen, thousands times each year, more criminals rob and kill people in states with higher gun ownership. Don't tell me you have not seen that.
Then how come in states with highest gun ownership, this has not happened? And the opposite has happened? Are you sure it's not a typo? Did you mean to type "attract" when you typed "deter"?
Even the most vehement gun advocate on this board, jhe123, has given up on "guns deter crimes". He now changes to something like "when I face a criminal, I have a better chance to survive with my gun."
As high crime rate leads to high gun ownership- on the basis of everything else been equal. If you have a state complete abolish gun, then of course no one will ever own a gun no matter how bad the crime is. And I can assure you only the law biding citizens will be stripped of guns. And criminal will still have them.
If you try to argue that those states have high gun ownership because they have high crime rates, you can see your jerk reaction is not the solution. Why? People don't use their guns for defense. Whenever a gun is used for defense, about 16 people have been killed by criminals with guns, another 30 injured, another 1.3 killed or injured unintentionally, and at least hundreds have become victims of crimes committed with guns but fortunately unhurt physically. Out of these hundreds of people, about 32% are gun owners, but only one of them used his/her gun for defense. How effective is your defense wiht guns?
However, it's fact that CA, IL, NY and NJ have most of the shithole cities in the US, but thanks to their lowest gun ownership, their overall homicide rates are a lot lower than those states with highest gun ownership. According to you, these four states should have high gun ownership, right? So you can see the opposite of jerk reaction probably will not put you in a bad infinite loop.
