Show me the person that has an alter of guns and prays to it every night and I’ll agree with you. Nice try but you had a swing and a miss.

Here You'll find plenty examples of gun crazy Americans taking their gun cult to the next level:

The mind is the weapon. Anything you grasp is an implement. A tool. The leftist hive mind has you. You're being utilized as a tool.

What makes You think it isn't You who gets "utilized as a tool"? By those who "love the uneducated"? Because they are much easier to manipulate?

LoL. I'm uneducated. Come take something from me. Bring friends.

I didn't say that. Being educated doesn't make You immune to manipulation. But it's really telling that those who try to propagate views similar to Your's even themselves admit that they prefer to deal with uneducated people, because they are easier prey. That doesn't necessarily mean that all of their victims are uneducated, it just means the uneducated are overrepresented amongst their sheeplike followers.

I would never make any assumption about a person's education and intelligence just based on one post in social media. You can believe that.

In your world Afghanistan would have been conquered in Antiquity.

And I didn’t see a single person with an alter to their guns nor a single reference to a person praying to their guns as a god.

Nice try but your attempt of understanding the Paradox of Tolerance is at a 6th grade level (you did cite NBC).

But if you tolerate violence, you will be ruled by violence.

A gun is an inanimate object incapable of independent action. It can be an instrument of violence but so can a car, a knife, a baseball bat, a rock or any of a hundred other instruments. The radical left’s full tolerance of political violence and excuse of violence by blaming inanimate objects is simply stunning from a rational standpoint.

Guns are a means of violence. If You welcome guns into Your society You welcome violence. It's certainly no coincidence that the US is the country with most privately owned guns and being plagued by daily mass shootings. That's what happens when a society loves guns more than its children. We can see it every night on TV news.

Baseball bats are made for playing baseball, a car is made as a means of transportation, a hammer is made to hammer nails in. A knife is made to slice bread. Sure these things can also be used to kill, but that's not what they are made for. Whereas guns are made for the purpose of killing and that's what people are using them for. I for example do not kill and therefore I do not own any gun. Why would I ? I don't have any need for a gun.

Cars a means of violence. White silence is a means of violence. Owning property is a means of violence. Speech is a means of violence.

Your 2nd grade mentality of "if you welcome guns into you society you welcome violence" can be disproved with a single idea. Violence existed long before guns.

Please tell me you have a thought deeper than a 5th grader.

I don’t own a gun either, but a gun is a means of defense and a force equalizer. For a woman who has been physically overwhelmed by a stronger man and raped, carrying a gun and learning to use it is a perfectly reasonable act. For someone who lives in a dangerous neighborhood without the financial means to leave and is in regular danger when s/he moves around (or even at home), having a gun and knowing how to use it is, again, a perfectly reasonable act. Just cause you don’t have a need for a gun doesn’t mean no one else does.
