RE: Let's Create A Society Worth LIVING For! More Americans on US Soil Are Killed By Armed Toddlers And Lawnmowers Than By Jihadi Terrorists!
I really don't put much weight in that first number.
What with the govern-cement, and their propaganda wing the MSM, everything is done by a terrorist.
So, we really don't have any non-biased statistics to pull that number from.
That said, having the ability to defend yourself is of great importance. And will be until society as a whole can move away from violent (win-lose) confrontation to peaceful (win-win) negotiation.
We have done so much to demonize bad guys. But we have done so little to actually give this group what they need. We have a competition based environment for jobs. And this will always leave out the lower IQ people. These lower IQ people are the majority of the petty burglars. What they need is a way to feel like they are a part of the society and that they can afford/procure the basics for living. (giving them money will not help)
When we do that, then we will start seeing a much more peaceful society.
Top point about IQ level being a HUGE factor in a walks of life...too much to go into here but it's a point people rarely dare to discuss and debate.
A return to nature is required to resolve these issues and that means a return to the free living that the wealthy cannot allow for it results in them losing their position at the tops of artificial hierarchies.. None the less, lose it they will.
It's not just the people with lower IQ that loose out. People suffering from mental illness / delusions are drawn further into dysfunctional ways of thinking by the system and media. This group of people are of course both rich and poor.
A raising of conscious awareness in all will create a much more peaceful and harmonious society.
When huge swathes of the population are mentally ill, guns provide the means to turn their inner delusions into an external hell for many.
