    Swedes and the Amish aren't much of a problem in the US either. You think the dazzler gives a sh*t about US gun deaths? Giuliani showed how to reduce gun deaths and the dazzler and his fellow leftards hates him with a white hot heat. The dazzler doesn't want Americans to defend themselves. That's it.

    The 4.4 million or so Americans with Swedish origins are considerably richer than average Americans, as are other immigrant groups from Scandinavia. If Americans with Swedish ancestry were to form their own country, their per capita GDP would be $56,900, more than $10,000 above the income of the average American. This is also far above Swedish GDP per capita, at $36,600. Swedes living in the USA are thus approximately 53 per cent more wealthy than Swedes (excluding immigrants) in their native country (OECD, 2009; US Census database). It should be noted that those Swedes who migrated to the USA, predominately in the nineteenth century, were anything but the elite. Rather, it was often those escaping poverty and famine. …A Scandinavian economist once said to Milton Friedman, ‘In Scandinavia, we have no poverty’. Milton Friedman replied, ‘That’s interesting, because in America, among Scandinavians, we have no poverty, either’. Indeed, the poverty rate for Americans with Swedish ancestry is only 6.7 per cent: half the US average (US Census).

    I need to be disarmed because of Highland Park and Chicago. No thank you.

    https://ace.mu.nu/

    Chicago Residents Notice That They Had More Gun Deaths Than Highland Park Over the Fourth of July Weekend, As Usual, and Also As Usual, the Leftwing Propaganda Media Didn't Notice
    —Ace
    John Sexton writes, quoting the Washington Post:

    There are no crowdsourced charity drives raising millions for victims' families in Chicago, where the holiday weekend death toll reached at least 10 with 62 injured -- numbers that exceed the toll in Monday's mass shooting at a July Fourth parade in nearby Highland Park, Ill. In that affluent lakeside suburb, the violence was an anomaly. Here, it is a grimly regular occurrence.
    "They have a lot of resources there in Highland Park," said Bobbie Brown, 62, who watched the nationally televised law enforcement response and community outpouring from her home in the Englewood neighborhood, down the block from where the homicide near the playground happened Friday afternoon. "Ain't that something? Our babies see people get shot while they're at a playground, and there's no counseling. They have to suck it up and deal with it."...

    Shermiya, a Triton College-trained engineer, drives her three children 45 minutes west each morning during the school year, outside city limits. Her parents live there, and the children use their address to attend school...

    To her, the Highland Park television coverage served as little more than a reminder that the suburb one hour away exists in a different universe.

    "It was on for hours and hours," Shermiya said. "And it's like, people are getting shot every day around here, around the corner, up the street. But they still don't cover it because it's not enough White people down here."
    People know the media is biased and they grope for why they are refusing to cover obviously-newsworthy stories. This woman grasps at her default idea of bias -- the media must be biased against blacks.

    No, that's not it. It's not that "there aren't enough White people down here." It's that there aren't enough white perpetrators. The media likes mass shootings because, let's face it, a disproportionate amount of gun crime is committed by blacks, and they don't like covering any crime committed by blacks.

    But mass shootings are more of an equal opportunity category of crime, so they cover those like crazy.

    Until they find out the shooter was black or Hispanic, then they drop the coverage like a hot potato.

    Japan boasts a population of more than 127 million people, yet finished 2019 with a gun death rate of only .02 per 100,000 people. One major factor in this success is that Japan has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world. For Japanese citizens to purchase a gun, they must attend an all-day class, pass a written exam, and complete a shooting range test, scoring at least 95% accuracy. Candidates will also receive a mental health evaluation, performed at a hospital, and will have a comprehensive background check done by the government. Only shotguns and rifles can be purchased. The class and exam must be retaken every three years.

    Poor bastards.

    Poor bastards indeed. First smart thing you've ever poasted here. Take the rest of the day off, Biden voting dumbass.
    None of the excitement that comes from knowing that untreated schizophrenics are willing and able to unleash a hale of bullets in your direction without warning. Japan sounds boring.
    We should just lock them all up. You agree? Now dance you F’n loser.

    What are they missing that the USA has? I can’t put my finger on it….

    guns
    I'm going to need to see gun death rate of Japanese Americans here.

    Something never said in Japan "Diversity is our strength".
    I bet if you’re a diagnosed schizophrenic in Japan and you won’t take your meds, it’s off to the crazy house.

    But in the US liberals ended that that because schizophrenics are people too! So now they run the streets and sometimes get their hands on guns.

    So the logical thing to do it take away the guns.

    Fuck off, Dazzler.

    It was Kennedy who closed the mental hospitals. But still.

    I've noticed once Reagan did something it's irreversible. He gutted the middle class and we have been stuck with "trickle down" economics for 45 years.

    Japan doesn’t have rampant welfare and drug abuse. They also don’t allow you to sleep in a tent nor a field. They actually require you to work or they put you In a stall with maybe 1 hot and an uncomfortable cot.

    Oh. And they don’t have black neighborhoods either. So they really don’t have any reason for citizens to have guns.

    I just saw footage of the assassination, and I was shocked that he didn't have much security around him. But I guess in Japan there's a different expectation than in America.

    In China they are reportedly celebrating this assassination. Abe had been telling China to stay out of Taiwan.
