Right here’s a dialogue between two individuals from my boyhood, whom I gained’t establish by title, and whose feedback I didn’t edit.
Outdated acquaintance 1: Weapons, aren’t the issue, vehicles, alcohol, medication, kill manner many extra individuals. Let’s speak the reality right here it’s individuals which can be the issue. How they’re introduced up , their mentality what they’re saying on the TV which in lots of circumstances is nothing however hatred you may name it like it’s and that is the very fact.
Outdated acquaintance 2: If a person goes loopy, needs to harm somebody and has a rock, he may damage somebody badly. If he has a gun, individuals will die. Sure the issue is individuals, let’s not permit them the weapons to cope with their sick resolution.
The dialogue makes me marvel how individuals in France or Japan or Croatia body this dialogue. I’m pondering that maybe we within the U.S. have too many (barely literate) individuals like previous acquaintance #1 to have the ability to cope with our issues intelligently, and that maybe we’re doomed to stay caught in impartial in terms of points like public security.
