While i agree there are circumstances that guns are practical and justifiable, there are usually alternatives.... like a secure house?
It's a culture problem.
Here I go bragging on my status as a very lucky person.
I visited the states twice, once for a year as a young man and once for two years as a mature adult.
Both times it was the culture of the states that caused me to leave.
Here at home the doors have latches so the wind does not blow them open, but no locks.
Keys are left in the car so they are handy and don't get lost.
Hitch hikers are given rides.
Most do not have the option of living in a society that reflects their personal views, I am aware of my luck.
And none of the hundreds of research papers done on stress versus behavior apply to any of us, we are rational.
I smile through my tears.

I realize i may have come off like a jerk, suggesting it is an easy problem to solve, i understand it is not.... there is a saturation of guns in the country already.
I just mean, i believe it can be corrected over time, once the people accept that it is a problem.
Thankfully, i too live in a country like you describe.

if you make a house so secure that it cannot be broken into by criminals, two things will be obvious - 1-you spent twice (or more) on your house than normal. and 2- the police will arrest you because you live in what they call a "fortified compound" that they cannot get into if they so desire. that is against the law in lots of places. they assume you are a criminal if they cannot kick your doors in...
Middle and rural America are still like this for the most part. The suburban and city areas are fucked though. I think the fast pace of life, overworked parents, and drug epidemic are the roots of the problems here not weapons.
When they kick out your front door,
How are you gonna come,
With your hands on your head,
Or the trigger of your gun?

You calling a psychopath? Lol, I don't have an AR but I do own a almost AK-47. I have murdered many trees and a few animals with her. I guess you can say I'm technically a serial killer in the PETA/tree hugger mindset.
I also have a several other firearms just no desire for a AR they are just weak. I do want to buy a Barrett .50bmg though cause that bitch can stop a tank I can only imagine what she will do to a tree. Of course if ANTIFA actually starts a Civil War in their bullshit name of communism and classless society well they are going to be outclassed.
I also know a little bit about explosives enough to take out a bridge so I can take out the Communists safely from a mile away. Yeah, I guess I am kind of a psychopath cause, I wish a nigga would. LMAO
Of course I highly doubt the Communists will get past Trump's drones and military but it's still going to be fun as hell playing with a .50 BMG. Haven't killed anyone yet but I will kill Communists for fun if they actually pick up guns and fight that's what the Second Amendment is all about, the Militias.
Nobody really wants a classless society though, Elon Musk would be a nobody, Ozzy would have never thrown the best music festivals I've ever witnessed, Oz fest was the shit. Also gun manufacturers would no longer care about quality because they are living in government housing projects eating government cheese if it's really cheese. Forget about eating good in a classless society.
I may be slightly psychotic but a necessary psychotic because freedom even with the bullshit laws and regulations beats the shit out of even Europe and the UK where jailed for speech even the Sex Pistols got in trouble for God Save the Queen. Lol, if it wasn't for America Ozzy probably would have been drawn and quartered for not being a good Christian.
Yeah, the Second Amendment is very important as is the First clearly why it came after the First Amendment. Sure some people claim they didn't know better weapons would come out, but that's a lie the puckle gun was made in 1718 clearly advancements would be made on her. I highly doubt General George Washington was ignorant on weapons advancements in 1776 almost 60 years after the puckle gun was invented.
But you are more than welcome to try changing my mind on the Constitution. Really I kind of think I should be able to purchase an Apache helicopter but I'm happy with my guns and I don't have millions of dollars anyway.
I have no clue what gave you that impression.
I simply pointed out that guns are used by psychopaths for sporting purposes.
Whoever thinks that I am against hunting is following their own definition of my belief.
I hunt. I enjoy shooting. Deer may see me as a psychopath.
I also tend to try to point out things that people miss or fail to consider.
It makes for better threads and helps some to think.

I live in a rural area, we have plenty of problems very few murders though. I have guard dogs just because I don't know many people who have not had their house robbed. Ain't much work out here but lots of junkies and one cop in my town, only retards get busted for robbery. Another problem is you call 911 you have to wait for about an hour for the police you might get lucky and have the local cop around in 20-30 minutes but when you have gangs running meth labs and shit well it's not really the response time you want if shit gets real.
Of course their hasn't been a murder for a few years in my town but you never know. Plus 20 minutes you are going to be dead before a cop arrives if someone really wants to kill you.
Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it. This one lady actually got gang raped by Muslims she now has a pistol on her at all times and that was before the refugees. Shit happens, really fucked up too, because this lady is about 400lbs and don't even have a pretty face. Lol, I think I'd rather fuck a sheep myself.
did some looking for laws on this
can't find any laws, but they may be out there
what i do see is many a police report describing a home as a 'fortified compound'
seemed more like a line they delivered to the DA/judge to make a better case

I apologize for getting the wrong impression.
If you are a gun owner and hunter and target shooter, then you, like me, recognize guns for what the really are..
Just tools... to do a job..
Your tools make the job of securing meat for your table much easier than if all you had was some wire and cord for snares...
Where I live in the country there is not a lot of serious crime...
99% of my neighbors and acquaintances are good people, like me.
However, there are a few thieves and a couple meth heads living with in a few miles of here.
I was a professional tradesman, and I built my own house 11 years ago..
It is very solid and secure..However, I don't have bars over my windows.
My house is hidden from the road, and breaking a window is by far the easiest way into a house..
There are about 15 or 20 other houses within a 1 mile radius of me.
I know most of my neighbors and they know me.
We all also know that we all have guns.. (we can hear each other shooting on occasion).
I just feel that since wrong-minded people are likely to have weapons,
I'm going to have one also; just to even up the odds a bit in case one of these people decides to interfere in my life at my house...
Guns....... Huh...... Seems I read a great book on the matter not to long ago......... Here it is.

Anybody else actually read a book on the subject? Know the actual world history?

You mean hunters mr mustard?
hunting for sport may as well be psychopathic lol
Well shit, I hunt for trophy antlers. Does that make me more or less psychotic than the guy who fills his freezer every year?
I admit I have never eaten antler but they make great pipes and chew toys.

I only hunt for trophies also, mainly bow...so I may be safe from the "phyco" label

In only going after the truly largest animals, we as trophy hunters make much less of an impact on game herds than those who are afraid to return empty handed.
This year in the desert, I hunted one buck all year. He won. I went home to tag soup.
All my buddies, I put them on bucks and they hunt for meat. Needless to say there was plenty of meat cut up at the end of the trip.
It is a personal choice. But... I didnt have tag soup after all. Everyone gave the "guide" plenty of meat. I even got the back straps from a grateful friend.
None of those other bucks wouldve happened if I shot the first buck I saw and went back to camp to drink beer.
