    You made the claim first. You said they are magically prescribed differently in Europe.

    Show me.

    The problem with your theory is that studies have shown that kids who play 1st person shooter video games are less likely to commit violent crimes. No doubt there is some overlap between those who play such games and those who commit violent crimes, but the trend seems to be that video game players stay in the basement.

    More interesting is the fact that such people tend to act out their fantasies in other ways ahead of time, such as drawing it, writing it out, or, as in the case of Klebold and Harris, creating a full-fledged video of it. My sister-in-law nailed one kid when she saw him drawing pictures of violent scenarios and reported him. We need to be aware of such activities and move to intervene like she did. Makes me wonder how many horror movie makers are serial killer wannabes.

    You certainly sound like an open minded sort...

    So you have no answer on how to defend your home then. Perfect.

    Thus demonstrating a complete lack of understanding pertaining to how the law in the united states works. What is being described on the part of yourself is not standard, as has been demonstrated in numerous open carry demonstrations across the country.

    If such a call was actually made on the part of yourself, you might even be threatened with charges of filing a false report with law enforcement.

    Do you know how crazy it is that in the US if there is a mass shooting you have to fear the police shooting you by mistaking you for the shooter as well as the shooter killing you.

    The police shot the security guard who got the shooter at gun point.

    Police are pointless they don't have to help you but can kill you if they feel scared for their life.

    I'm gonna make a fortune by creating and renting off a well trained militia police force that is EU style

    Good idea. An unarmed militia for rent. Made up of private citizens without guns because private ownership of guns is stupid. Your future prosperity is indeed certain.

    Oh yes there are. It's an older model, but still for sale used. In fact there is an older semi-auto that can start firing full auto just from wear over time.

    You don't carry off the range right? The police would scream at you with their gun pointed at you if you did.

    Those who file false reports that lead to someone being killed by law enforcement, are indeed liable for the deaths that occur as a result.

    Then demonstrate precisely what this model of firearm is. Show that the claims presented on the part of yourself are indeed factually correct and accurate, rather than simply the misunderstanding of yourself.

    And yet in many states across the united states, the open carry of a firearm is a legal activity to engage in.

    It's not a false report if some smug looking couple is armed with guns almost their size.

    Especially with mass shootings every day

    I'm not stupid enough to point out the firearm on a public forum.

    Because the weakest loser can be a king if he has a gun in his hand.

    You don’t understand what you are saying do you? Either that or there are two Sackeshis posting on this forum.

    You really should try and learn a little about the world outside your narrow perception. I’ve been literally carrying or had an AR-15 within 12 inches of me since 5:30 this morning.

    If a LEO sees me he/she will likely ask about my suppressor or what ammo I’m using. That’s the most common response.

    Good grief.

    I do, I'm saying that I could start train a militia with 1M members nation wide to EU police standards and rent them off for 40K per year with them being stationed by population. Cali getting 120K and Wyoming getting 1.5k.

    The 1.5K Alaskain troops would be used as the police for my colony a few times the size of RI in the middle of uninhabited nowhere with a total civilian gun ban

    I doubt you could train two 7 year olds to run a lemonade stand.

    You post private ownership of guns is stupid and you oppose it. Then you advocate arming a private militia with privately owned guns. You are not only textbook hypocritical you are testing the boundaries of rationality.

    Militias are organized units not lone randos.

    The private militia would do a better job then the band of college drop outs with badges and big boy toys that is the US police force.

    That’s immaterial to the discussion. And when was the last time anyone heard a progressive say militias are good. Your fellow travelers are probably wishing they could take your internet connection like Moore taking Hogg’s microphone up in Canada.

    And what is the US police force anyway? Never heard of it.
