Time to ban automatic weapons


" I just think you're wrong. Your type of society breeds division, resentment, poverty, unrest and crime. Mine less so. Far more murders in the USA per year than Europe (to link back to my original post)."
Of course you think I am wrong. Obvious and irrelevant.
I know of no nation on earth that has the immigration of the USA. There is no nation where Americans are leaving to go to in the same numbers of the hordes that are arriving. The murder rate doesn't seem to deter anyone. We could drive the murder rate down to near zero by making murder a crime that ensures execution in short order. We have never, and never will do that. We obviously have more sympathy for murderers than victims. ( I do not understand why. )
I am an HVAC / electrician, landlord, jack of all trades, who lives in Texas. When I am talking to a left winger, I am always curious where they got their beliefs. I am trying to make logic of it. There is no logic to it. I see no logic in anyone's political beliefs. Perhaps there is no logic in mine.

I hang my belief on this; It is against human nature to appreciate anything you dont work for. Capitalism rewards work, and innovation. Socialism punishes the productive, and rewards sloth. One of these will slowly destroy first the individual, then the society. Your country is doomed, as are all western democracies. From within, not without.
