Me And A Gun

[Posh]

Posh-

The point I am trying to make with disparate per-capita rates is rural areas tend to value self-reliance, personal responsibility, common sense (an apparently uncommon virtue) and strong family ties.

Urban areas typically value things like entitlement, reliance on government, abrogation of personal responsibility and refer to "baby-daddies" with pride vice a strong extended family.

This is a blanket generalization made precipitously; your views on urban areas is short-sighted and bigoted. I find country folk to be of the same quality as any city person. I found that out this summer. So you can take this generalization back to Long Island with you.

Violence in every form, not only firearm related, is a sociological issue tied to a breakdown in a societies mores, or more accurately a replacement of traditional mores with ones similar to those found at the time of the decline of Rome.

Personal indulgence above all else, instant gratification, "Do it if it feels good" are America's rallying cries now. We are satisfied with "bread and circuses", blind to what is happening to us as a society and a culture and heading rapidly downwards.

If you feel this is true, why do you want these people having access to guns, in any way shape, form or fashion? Knowing people are degenerate, stupid and reactionary should want you seeing them stripped of all weapons, especially those that shoot projectiles.

And these mores you speak of, you kill for them daily so don't knock them to hard. And I have sneaking suspicion you've allowed yourself to partake in all these "personal indulgences." Don't take the moral high road when it suits you; take it all the time.
