What do you think about gun control?

RE: What do you think about gun control?
I think he did..... Gun culture = how people (as a whole) think about guns.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Lol.



That says exactly nothing. It is a atatement so vague that it commits to exactly no ideal.

Like " family values".

Sounds good - but carrys no definition..

First you say it says exactly nothing and then you say it says something vague. Which is it?

We'll split the difference between vague ( almost nothing) and nothing.

We'll split the difference between vague ( almost nothing) and nothing.

So then, almost almost nothing?

It’s the only possible definition. Suppose you had asked me to define music culture or food culture or any other culture. I would have answered the same way.

It isn’t meant to commit to any ideal, since there isn’t one single gun culture - it varies from society to society. For example, New Zealand (with a respectably high rate of gun ownership) has a markedly different gun culture that the US or Japan or Indonesia.

Well, the topic seems to be gun violence and how to address it. In societies with high rates of gun violence, the chief cause is the behaviours and attitudes of the people in that society towards guns. I indict a gun culture that leads to violence.

I don’t think I can make it any plainer that that.
