The pervasiveness of guns in our society is destroying America.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Guns are part of the American psyche, aren't they? This is collateral damage for having a Wild West mentality. It's intrinsic to the American psyche. It's never going to change.
There are too many guns in the hands of people that shouldn't have guns. There is too much gun violence in America.
We understand that in an open and democratic and free society, you cannot make yourself impenetrable, especially when there are more guns than there are people in the United States today.
We must get rid of all the guns.
I think America's obsession with guns and with violence in media and society is a horrible sickness.
I have always been fascinated with guns. I grew up in America, so, granted, it is part of our heritage, and it is written into the laws of how this country is run.
Guns are part of the American identity.
I'm saying, let's learn to reacquire a respect for the power of guns. This culture is so indifferent and disrespectful of guns that we should be terrified.
More guns are not the answer to keeping our kids and our communities safer.
This is not the beginning of American civilization where we need guns because it's the Wild, Wild West... There should not be guns in our society, and we all know that; politicians know that.
