goodday, I see this map and i wonder why the east coast is so popular. Is this because of the population pressure? The liberal culture? Weapon regulations? see map below I spot more shootings in blue or split states. (except texas) Or is this red people feeling the need to shoot more when they feel in the minority?
"Australian comedian Jim Jefferies does an excellent job of summing up why so many foreigners are baffled by America's gun culture"
Constitution(s) are not “the book” from any god and it can be changed, as it written by men in a different time and in a different political environment. regarding the 2nd amendment, is just that: an amendment .

Makes one think. Check out the similarities in your map and this one

guns are not toys, but whatever float your boat.
yes, for some guns are toys, but highly respected none-the-less.

My theory is that America is a land of kinship bonds and not a nation-state and civic society. Being a land of immigrants they are a collection of rival clan/tribes - you're so much more related to your little group than you are to your fellow countrymen and this means that altruism is much more intensely focused at your small group rather than spread widely across the nation as a whole.
And so the argument that gun onwership is killing so many Americans as a whole loses to the kinship-bond of "I need this gun to defend my clan". They can't get a proper healthcare service going for the same reason: they're not able to relate to the nation as a whole but in reality only to the tribal faction they belong. Diversity and the melting pot make the broader civic sense of fellowship impossible. America is essentially a nation of strangers held together by self-interest and factional allegiance ad this is why gun control and healthcare doesn't work. The argument that gun onwership is killing so many Americans loses to the "I like shooting guns" - appetite and self-desire overwhelm any sense of doing the right thing for the country.

The reason they had a right to bear arms is that they thought the Brits were coming. But now that they know the Empire has fallen i dunno why they keep the guns.

Basically America is a land of gangs and they all think like gangsters and gang members(#NOTALL). Diversity is gangland territory. That's why there's no gun control. If mass immigration continues here in Europe we'll lose what makes the NHS possible and what makes a peaceful and genial life without guns everywhere.
Essentially nobody comes to have enough in common across society in order to establish a civil society. Trust breaks down and dignity goes out the window and what you're left with is a vibrantly disgraceful mess of tribespeople(modern Americans).

I'd argue that the entire New World is this way(apart from Canada). Just look at South America for gangs and gangsterism. The new world had and still has a distinct problem with making its societies gel.

goodday,
I see this map and i wonder why the east coast is so popular.
Is this because of the population pressure?
The liberal culture?
Weapon regulations?
see map below
I spot more shootings in blue or split states. (except texas)
Or is this red people feeling the need to shoot more when they feel in the minority?
any views on it?
