Oh, so Brent was just trolling. I guess that's nothing new.


Why does it make a difference that the guns are not owned by the citizens.  The citizen 
possess the gun and can use it at any time. It is a fully automatic weapon (which is very 
restricted in the US).  That the owners receive training in how to use the weapons might 
reduce accidents, but it can't be the difference in intentional homicides.


So I think Switzerland is an excellent counter example to the proposition that it is the 
widespread availability of guns in the US that is responsible for the high gun death 
rate.  The Swiss have more widespread availability of guns that are more capable of 
killing a lot of people killing than those available in the US.  The obvious conclusion is 
that there is some other very important factor.


If you look at the rates of homicide in different nations

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

The first thing you notice is that virtually the top spots are filled by western 
hemisphere nations.  The exceptions are Swaziland which is #5 and Canada which down with 
Switzerland.  They, at 0.5 (per year, per 100,000) are roughly twice that of New Zealand 
at 0.26 which is twice Australia's at 0.11.  I think the availability of guns in the US is 
probably a major factor in the gun suicide rate in the US; even though the US is 19th in 
intentional homicide rate, it's only 4th in suicide rate and 12th in accidental rate.

Yes. But to turn the question on its head, most people in most countries
don't have a desire to own guns unless they have a good reason to need one.
It only seems to be the US in which there is this actual desire, hence my
phrase gun fetish (which I'm sure isn't original).



 Are guns banned in, say, New Zealand? No. Yet there are less per head,
 and less injuries and deaths caused by them, probably because Kiwis own
 guns only for the reasons one might expect - hunting, for example - rather
 than whatever reason it is Americans do (it looks from the outside like a
 sort of national fetish, a theory that the glamourisation of violence in
 many American TV shows and movies would seem to support).


 This is another tough question. My guess is that puritanical values and a
 repressive stance on sexuality have something to do with it, and we also
 see high levels of violence in other societies that are (even more, of
 course) sexually repressive. But my guess is as good as yours.


Fair enough.

So, anyway, any comments that address the actual situation?


 Yes, serious social science. Really trying to figure out why so many kids
 in America want to start a rampage at their schools. Being willing to
 accept the real answers to this question instead of avoiding the parts of
 the answer that might be less palatable.


Yes. Obviously there is some feedback going on here. Not restricting gun
sales much enables those people who want to do these things to do so,
rather than just fantasising. There are undoubtedly such people in all
societies - my point is that enabling them to easily buy Uzis is probably a
bad idea if you want to avoid these rampages.


 Home 3D-printed guns are at the prototype level at the moment. Both the
 designs and 3D printing technology will keep improving and becoming
 cheaper. People are already experimenting with 3D printing ammunition.


 The technology to make atomic bombs in your basement exists. So, should
 that be made illegal? What do you think?


 Like all other things, one day technology will have advanced so much that
 making them illegal is irrelevant. Hopefully by then we figure out how to
 be nice to each other -- or we finally discover the solution to the Fermi
 Paradox.


My point was more that to the best of my knowledge no one appears to have
done this, even though it would be a way to make a suicide bomb that
*really* did a lot of damage. And certainly a load of material has gone
missing over the years...

I suspect the answer to the Fermi paradox has a few parts...maybe some
factors would include...

- an advanced civilisation is more likely to accidentally destroy its
planet's ecosphere

- or to have a global war, or create a disease, or do other things that
wipes it out or at least reduces it to medieval times again

- even if the above doesn't happen, interstellar contact is very, very
difficult. The distances and times involved are mind-boggling, and the
evidence so far is that a nice stable solar system like ours is fairly
rare. I don't think any of the 100s we're found so far are similar in terms
of goldilocks orbits and other helpful factors like galactic disc
avoidance, a massive shield planet, a large shield and otherwise helpful
Moon, etc etc etc. I'm sure they're out there, but the chances of us
detecting them is minute...

...unless it's possible for a civilisation to go up the Kardashev scale and
start manipulating star clusters, galaxies etc. But not much sign of that
going on so far.




 The trouble with trying to solve problems by restricting access to
 technology (in this case firearms) is that, as technology progresses, the
 laws have to become increasingly repressive to keep up. Preventing people
 from owning guns will soon devolve into a multi-prong approach where you
 have to restrict access to information on the Internet (if that is even
 possible), regulate the sale and ownership of 3D printers, worry about the
 availability of the common components that go into gunpowder, etc. For any
 difficulty you pose, there will be eventually a technological solution, and
 the only possible response from the regulatory mindset is to forbid more
 things, until we need permission to do almost anything.


 Now that we've got the straw men out of the way, I find my question still
 stands. So, why *does *the USA have so many firearms per head compared
 to anywhere else in the world, even a few was zones? And why does it have
 the highest rate of firearm related deaths and injuries per head in the
 first world, and close to the highest in the world (outside war zones) ?

us that lowering the number of guns per capita is not guaranteed to solve
anything.

firearm violence. It could be simply because of easy access to firearms but
there is a lot of empirical data that casts doubt on this hypothesis -- at

I would look into protestant puritanism and its many ramifications in what
society values, what it's like to grow up with puritanism (especially if
you don't fit the mold) and so on. If this turns out to be right, I would
also be very weary of directly attacking organised religion. This usually
results in another, even more nasty organized religion (e.g Stalinism).

In his long rambling manifesto he spoke -- much like you do in fact Mitch, of a 
clash of civilizations, and he saw himself as a defender of a Christian, Aryan 
Norway, being overrun by brown people. I am just going by his own stated 
motives, not your reinterpretation of what they must have been. 

The actual crime stats speak of a different story most terrorist attacks, by 
far-- in terms of numbers of incidences, but also in terms of overall damage, 
injury and death,  in the US and in the EU are not being perpetrated by 
Islamicists, but by other kinds of extremists, including many various 
separatist movements.

Hindus and Buddhists and Jews and Christians as well are committing acts of 
terror; however in the Western press these rarely get reported as such; most 
often the reports speak of a disturbed or deranged person, with no mention of 
the fact that their derangement was centered in their Christian (Nationalist) 
or other beliefs.

If you added up all the people who died as a result of terrorist acts over the 
last 50 years do you think it would even come close to the number of just 
Americans who get violently murdered each and every single year?

In the year 2013 you were more likely to die as the result of being man 
slaughtered by a toddler with a gun in this country than you were likely to get 
murdered by a terrorist.

I am trying to put all this brouhaha into some kind of perspective. It is so 
far down the stack of imminent threats this world actually faces; kind of makes 
you wonder why it gets so much attention and is presented as being our most 
pressing problem. 

What's the agenda? And whose agenda is it?

 


 
 
  
   
We have here a case of selective memory. Brevik was indeed a Nazi (no 
surprise there) but you do notice that all his victims were Norwegian 
socialists? His motive was revenge against his fellow countrymen, not Muslims 
living in Norway, which he could have easily attacked. It's impossible to truly 
see Brevik as a church goer, even in the Nazi WW2 German Lutheran style.  You 
forget the Islamist attacks in Madrid 2004 which killed 191 and the subway 
attack in London which killed, and 52 dead in the London tube attacks. If 
Hindus were committing mass murder all over the world, we'd be talking about 
them instead of believers in Muhammad. It's purely practical to focus on the 
Islamists and there's no easy resolution to this war (which it is). I can bring 
up the London beheading, and hundreds of other jihad attack. In the 70's I 
could have pointed out the IRA, Red Army Fraction, Bader Meinhoff types, or the 
Chilean military bombing in DC. The Islamists are super well funded and are 
motivated by a promise of eternity.

And, by the way, all the Cuban sponsored terrorism is an itellectual
product of the aggresive secularistic fanaticism incubated in the western
universities, with a marxist of post-marxist background (it is the same).
This is the fanaticism from which bot of you are victims.

There is also a great deal of marxist background in the new islamism. The
leaders of islamic terrorism were educated in western universities. Many of
the  70-80 terrorists groups were socialists-islamists in a inextricable
mix. In the 90's the defeat of your loved socialist utopia, and the lack of
funds support and ideology from the soviet empire changed the labeling of
these islamo-socialist groups towards pure islamism.

There are great parallels between the left utopianism and islam, And a even
stronger similarity between their respective violent branches: leninism and
 islamism. Both are political religions of different degrees of fanaticism

Re: Are all terrorrists Muslim? Not even close!

2015-04-01 Thread spudboy100 via Everything List

We have here a case of selective memory. Brevik was indeed a Nazi (no surprise 
there) but you do notice that all his victims were Norwegian socialists? His 
motive was revenge against his fellow countrymen, not Muslims living in Norway, 
which he could have easily attacked. It's impossible to truly see Brevik as a 
church goer, even in the Nazi WW2 German Lutheran style.  You forget the 
Islamist attacks in Madrid 2004 which killed 191 and the subway attack in 
London which killed, and 52 dead in the London tube attacks. If Hindus were 
committing mass murder all over the world, we'd be talking about them instead 
of believers in Muhammad. It's purely practical to focus on the Islamists and 
there's no easy resolution to this war (which it is). I can bring up the London 
beheading, and hundreds of other jihad attack. In the 70's I could have pointed 
out the IRA, Red Army Fraction, Bader Meinhoff types, or the Chilean military 
bombing in DC. The Islamists are super well funded and are motivated by a 
promise of eternity.

All these movements are in the orbit of Cuba and Venezuela as well as with ties 
with islamism. The basque terrorists in the 70s trained together with the 
Palestinian terrorists LPO  (in the valley of the Becca) and with argelian 
communists.
   

 
   
   

Please be informed. 

 

Was the right-wing Christian fanatic Norwegian terrorist Anders who mass 
murdered (77 people injuring hundreds more) scores of Norwegians in a car bomb, 
followed by a cold blooded execution style gunning down of unarmed teenagers in 
2011, and who acted in the name of his Christian supremacist ideology also --- 
covertly somehow also an Islamic terrorist? 

Was the train station bombing in Bologna Italy, which along with the afore 
mentioned Norwegian act of mass terrorism ranks as Europes worst post WWII act 
of terrorism, was that act perpetrated by Islamicists (or was it rather 
perpetrated by shadowy groups linked to the P2 lodge and to Operation Gladio?)

 

Inform yourself, yourself! 

The two single largest acts of terrorism in post WWII Europe both committed by 
far right (and in the case of the Bologna bombing also implicating a shadowy 
paramilitary organization called Operation Gladio).

 

In the US, was Timothy McVeigh also a crypto Muslim of sorts? Or was that mass 
murder act of terrorism also driven by an extremist right wing ideology?

 

Me thinks, it is rather more yourself that needs to inform themselves, 
seminarian.

In the other side nobody says that all the terrorists are Muslims. You both may 
be a little off of reality guys. What children literature do you read?. 
   
   

 
   
   

There are alaso a great number of extreme left terrorist that has diminished 
since the defeat of the USSR. But there remain a lot of nostalgics of that era 
that populate the centers of power. And even the discussion lists.

  Of course not.  I'm just pointing out one of the factors.  Some, like

  So are you saying that there is a correlation between the per-capita
 income of a country and the number of households with guns? If so, have you

 Yes, but I'm pointing out that the correlation is in part driven by the
 expense of buying a gun and ammunition.  So people in Bangladesh or Chad
 are not likely to buy a rifle for sport or hunting.  Whereas the US people
 that buy a rifle for sport or hunting tend to also have another rifle for
 target shooting and a shotgun or two and a couple of pistols.  That's why,
 although the number to guns in the US has gone up, the number of households
 with a gun has gone down.


So what about  Europe, Canada, Svalbard, etc?

I do of course agree with your point on a broad scale. I normally only say
that the USA has more guns per person than other countries in the first
world, since I assume the first world is roughly on a par economically. So
income inequality may partially explain the gap between the USA and India,
but not between the USA and the UK. I don't know about households (do the
Swiss have more people per household than the US, or something? Or are you
saying the map is wrong?) - this map only shows the average number of
civilian-owned guns per capita.

I'm sorry I didn't know you were arguing a case. What case are you arguing?  Did you

giving up my guns if I thought it would make me significantly safer, just like I'd give up 
my motorcycles if I thought they were going to kill me.  Yes, I know the statistics.  
You're more likely to be shot if you own a gun (accidents, suicides account for more than 
half of gun deaths).  And you're 30 times more likely to be killed on a motorcycle over 
the same mileage as compared to a car.  But minimizing risk isn't an overriding value in 
my life.

Gun ownership has never been popular here, either before or after Port
Arthur. What changed was a tightening of rules over semi-automatic
weapons, and a massive buy-back of semi-automatic weapons that had
previously been privately owned.

To my knowledge, gun ownership rules have never been harmonised in
Australia. In the state of my upbringing (WA), it was illegal to own any
sort of gun (air-rifles were excepted from licensing, IIRC), except in
the following circumstances:

1) Farmers and professional shooters could own manually operated
rifles or shotguns up to .303 calibre

2) Other people could own guns, but they must be kept at
a licensed shooting range at all times. Possibly a handgun may have
been allowed under those circumstances.

3) Handguns could not be owned at all, unless made inoperable by
having it's barrel filled with lead (catering to the gun collector).

4) I'm guessing that police would have had access to all sorts weaponry,
but as a general rule, police were not armed with firearms. 

Obviously the rules in the Eastern States were laxer, given the extent
of private semi-automatic ownership, and the fact that cops pack sidearms.

In his long rambling manifesto he spoke -- much like you do in fact Mitch, of a 
clash of civilizations, and he saw himself as a defender of a Christian, Aryan 
Norway, being overrun by brown people. I am just going by his own stated 
motives, not your reinterpretation of what they must have been. The actual 
crime stats speak of a different story most terrorist attacks, by far-- in 
terms of numbers of incidences, but also in terms of overall damage, injury and 
death,  in the US and in the EU are not being perpetrated by Islamicists, but 
by other kinds of extremists, including many various separatist 
movements.Hindus and Buddhists and Jews and Christians as well are committing 
acts of terror; however in the Western press these rarely get reported as such; 
most often the reports speak of a disturbed or deranged person, with no mention 
of the fact that their derangement was centered in their Christian 
(Nationalist) or other beliefs.If you added up all the people who died as a 
result of terrorist acts over the last 50 years do you think it would even come 
close to the number of just Americans who get violently murdered each and every 
single year?In the year 2013 you were more likely to die as the result of being 
man slaughtered by a toddler with a gun in this country than you were likely to 
get murdered by a terrorist.I am trying to put all this brouhaha into some kind 
of perspective. It is so far down the stack of imminent threats this world 
actually faces; kind of makes you wonder why it gets so much attention and is 
presented as being our most pressing problem. What's the agenda? And whose 
agenda is it?

We have here a case of selective memory. Brevik was indeed a Nazi (no surprise 
there) but you do notice that all his victims were Norwegian socialists? His 
motive was revenge against his fellow countrymen, not Muslims living in Norway, 
which he could have easily attacked. It's impossible to truly see Brevik as a 
church goer, even in the Nazi WW2 German Lutheran style.  You forget the 
Islamist attacks in Madrid 2004 which killed 191 and the subway attack in 
London which killed, and 52 dead in the London tube attacks. If Hindus were 
committing mass murder all over the world, we'd be talking about them instead 
of believers in Muhammad. It's purely practical to focus on the Islamists and 
there's no easy resolution to this war (which it is). I can bring up the London 
beheading, and hundreds of other jihad attack. In the 70's I could have pointed 
out the IRA, Red Army Fraction, Bader Meinhoff types, or the Chilean military 
bombing in DC. The Islamists are super well funded and are motivated by a 
promise of eternity.

For one thing they're poorer.  The number of households with a gun is
 far smaller than the number of guns.

  What, all other countries are poorer than the US?


 Of course not.  I'm just pointing out one of the factors.  Some, like
 Switzerland, are richer...and have a higher percentage of households with
 guns.


So are you saying that there is a correlation between the per-capita income
of a country and the number of households with guns? If so, have you got
some stats?

By the way, Brent, your comment directly contradicts what the gun lovers
always say - but anyone can get hold of one if they really want to!

Unless - gasp - most people don't actually want to! (Or can't, but that
does seem unlikely). I've never wanted one myself, nor have I known anyone
who's owned a gun, to the best of my knowledge - apart from a friend of my
son whose father lives in America (the father has a gun).

Subject: Re: Are all terrorrists Muslim? Not even close!

 

All these movements are in the orbit of Cuba and Venezuela as well as with ties 
with islamism. The basque terrorists in the 70s trained together with the 
Palestinian terrorists LPO  (in the valley of the Becca) and with argelian 
communists.

 

Please be informed. 

 

Was the right-wing Christian fanatic Norwegian terrorist Anders who mass 
murdered (77 people injuring hundreds more) scores of Norwegians in a car bomb, 
followed by a cold blooded execution style gunning down of unarmed teenagers in 
2011, and who acted in the name of his Christian supremacist ideology also --- 
covertly somehow also an Islamic terrorist? 

Was the train station bombing in Bologna Italy, which along with the afore 
mentioned Norwegian act of mass terrorism ranks as Europes worst post WWII act 
of terrorism, was that act perpetrated by Islamicists (or was it rather 
perpetrated by shadowy groups linked to the P2 lodge and to Operation Gladio?)

 

Inform yourself, yourself! 

The two single largest acts of terrorism in post WWII Europe both committed by 
far right (and in the case of the Bologna bombing also implicating a shadowy 
paramilitary organization called Operation Gladio).

 

In the US, was Timothy McVeigh also a crypto Muslim of sorts? Or was that mass 
murder act of terrorism also driven by an extremist right wing ideology?

 

Me thinks, it is rather more yourself that needs to inform themselves, 
seminarian.

Chris

 

In the other side nobody says that all the terrorists are Muslims. You both may 
be a little off of reality guys. What children literature do you read?. 

 

There are alaso a great number of extreme left terrorist that has diminished 
since the defeat of the USSR. But there remain a lot of nostalgics of that era 
that populate the centers of power. And even the discussion lists.

We do. Religion poisons everything.

 

No argument form me on that point. However a really surprising quantity of

Guns can be very dangerous, but like drugs there is no way to stop people from obtaining 
them. It's already possible to 3D print one, and this technology will only improve from

So far the ones printed will only fire once (if at all).  And no one's been able to print
