Why this proves it.

Us Amerikkans have fewer bangs of gun violence PER GUN than anywhere else on the Playnet.

I saw a video of some dude in China slashing random people with two meat cleavers.

Since they couldn't shoot him two guys had to run in and tackle him while he was distracted.

Insanity.

Sadly this is the truth 

The funny thing is the proliferation of firearms is only going to increase in the coming years, thanks to the individualization of the means of production in the form of 3D Printers, CNC Mills, and Sintering Machines. Technology is on the side of the individual, technology only seeks to create a leverage effect to the labor of the individual, in the end true power(monopoly on force) will lay in the hands of individuals, not governments.

Do you have any idea how contradictory your Subject is?
"We do not have a gun culture problem, we have a culture problem"

A gun culture problem IS a culture problem!

And we will not sort that by letting our youth glorify guns on television, in their video games, in their music, and in the media, with all those mass shootings.

I think we have a mental health issue disguised as a gun violence issue.

We have a government problem. The few places in the U.S. that require everyday folks to wear a gun, have the safest neighborhoods around.

There are no places that "require" the citizens to "wear" guns, they just acknowledge the citizens' constitutional right to bear arms, without any government infringement. Gun control is a direct impediment on our Second Amendment. In Switzerland, every one in two citizens bears a firearm, and it has the lowest crime rate in the world.

Open carry does reduce crime.

And, it almost forces you to get to know your neighbors. When you have a strong neighborhood alliance, even if it is informal, you have REAL strength.

Amen to that!

However, this won't work if there is a minority excluded from the neighborhood watch.

Okay, it's the head of house required to own a gun: http://www.cnn.com/2013/04/02/us/georgia-gun-requirement/.

Interestingly enough, on the chart of countries with the most well-armed population, we're the only country to have school shootings on such a regular basis

That'll happen when you make it illegal for all sane law-abiding teachers and staff to effectively defend the children they are entrusted to (human shield is NOT effective defense), leave multiple points in school perimeters unguarded and easy as butter to slip through.

It makes no sense to disarm teachers. We are so misunderstood about gun control.
