    Idk if it’s the same everywhere but in my experience in America I have came across a huge range of canine breeds owned by a huge range of human breeds (quality of person) and 100% of the time the human was a caring person that loved their dog the breed is unnoticeable. On the other side, when the human is subpar the breed of the dog is more noticeable as an inverse correlation to how shitty the person is.

      This is the dog equivalent of “guns don’t kill people, people kill people.”

      But without the gun, no one would be killed by the gun.

        … those ones not killed by the gun would be killed by the next lethal device in place of it, it is the will which drives the action, not the device

          Guns are essentially magic spears. They pierce with great force at very large distances. The next down are toys in comparison.

          Lmao but at least next lethal device isn’t something that has sole purpose of killing people.

          Like how stupid you have to be… guns only and one numbero uno purpose is killing people. And they are fucking good at it, nothing else comes close.

          A knife? Bitch please you have to get close, grab the victim and stab many times. It’s easier to run away from a blade than from a fucking bullet unless you are Neo.

          What’s the purpose of legal gun ownership?? To defend against legal gun ownership. It’s a fucking ouroboros of stupidity.

          Your opinion is not grounded in fact as represented by statistics from a wide range of countries.

          The will cannot drive the action without the tool.

            Then it will be something else.

            Mind I’m not defending the free-guns-for-all policy so dear to a sadly large part of americans, I’m just saying that the tool is not the real issue, that one would be the finality of the action and the fecklessness, the morbidly carelessness and yet horrible thoroughness, attached to the though of ending or seriously harming another person. That one is a cultural problem, and very deep.

            Sure guns were instrumental to spread and nourishing such culture, but if it wasn’t the gun then the will to kill would have been manifested through the next available tool.

              What next tool are you talking about?

              Guns are specifically designed to kill people as quickly and efficiently as possible and at great distance. Take that tool away and you put some serious limits on the will to kill.

          Guns are the easiest method to kill people with. A spree stabber isnt going to kill and main NEAR as many people before they are dealt with as a spree shooter will
