i am with ban gun , regardless the society healthy or not .

if society is not healthy,so becomes very required to ban guns .
You're not getting it. But you're not American or even Western, so you have no idea what American culture is like, really.

that's why i am with ban gun , regardless the society healthy or not .

if society is not healthy,so becomes very required to ban guns .

So if a farmer in a rural area surrenders his shotgun, it will help reduce gang related violence in the intercity ghettos?

I watch the Western movie (action, romance , comedy ...etc) , i almost know very well Americans way of life .

I am very sure that many of Western (in USA) agree with ban of gun to civilians .

We gun is becomes the perfect (may only) source of safty that really danger for everyone .

Movies aren't accurate depictions of reality unless you watch certain kinds of movies that are trying to point out something about culture (like Natural Born Killers, which most people didn't get, because people are stupid and don't understand satire and cultural criticism, which ironically just proves the social critic right).

Let's put it this way, guns are just inanimate objects. They don't do anything unless a person makes them do something. They don't call out to you saying things like "hey, pick me up and shoot that person over there". It takes a person to put a gun into some sort of action. So the root of the problem is whatever is driving the person to pick up the gun and massacre people. The root of the problem is not the gun itself. That's missing the entire reality of the situation. To solve this problem, we must address the root of it and not the mere symptom.

Because the everyday life of the average American is exactly like a TV sitcom or action/romantic comedy, complete with shallow clichés, two dimensional and archetypical characters, deus ex machinas, and laugh-tracks. Also, in America we walk away slowly from explosions, without flinching or looking back.

the gun is very efficace too of kill , so if it's used by idiots that's cost the life of innocents .

yes everyone is responsible for it's acts , i am not sure if most of crimes are done by guns too .

so if Western law don't ban tanks to civilians , so some people will justify for tanks too ?

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.

What about people themselves?

If no guns, then what? Knives, explosives, gas, poison, bows and arrows...... List goes on....

It's why the gun debate is getting stale.

More better to look at what it is that triggers people to go out and do stuff like that.

Claiming someone has no concept of western culture because they currently don't live there is a bit presumptuous. Your making a bold claim claiming that godo has no idea about american culture without neccesarily knowing Godo's history with western people.

Seems people in the west make many claims about other nations cultures then be hypocrites when anything is mentioned about western culture they disagree with.
That's nice. So which movies do you like to watch to learn about American culture? :rolleyes:
