The Internet is not in the domain of the United States. This is a global community. Stop being so American.
But I will comply as I will not continue with this thread here in culture. I guess I misunderstood the meaning of this thread.
My apologise to all here.

Just leave this thread alone, folks, PLEASE. There is plenty of discussion on this topic in the Debates Forum. This forum is for happier things:
music
poetry
art
literature
etc
Also as clearly, Gman is making a statement here that the US has a "gun culture".

Originally posted by galveston75Why do these killers use guns? That's an easy one, it's a lot less effort to pull a little trigger, than to swing a baseball bat. I understand where you're going with this, but don't waste your breath. American's will keep their guns, no matter how many people are slaughtered with them!

Originally posted by galveston75Guns would make it a little less gory for a murderer and bam!!! it is all over. If someone sees you coming at em with a hammer they have a chance to fight back. Murderers display much cowardice.

Originally posted by galveston75Guns killed in excess of 20,000 in 1974. The trend has been steadily in decline. Does it matter why one method is used more than others?

Of all homicides in the US, and of gun homicides, the largest majority are gang and drug related. They are centered in about 3% of the counties, and the majority are committed by black and Hispanic males, and predominantly the victims are of the same ethnicity.
If you want answers, you have to find out why young black and Hispanic males are drawn to gangs and drugs, then you are on the right track.
You would find that the next largest cause is domestic violence. but there murders are often with other implements at hand rather than guns.

Simply because guns are a more effective means of killing. In the modern industrial age we should always try to perfect what ever use of technology is employed in a particular task. Man has advanced through rock, sinue, bronze, steel, and chemicals in the use of effective murder of his fellow man.
The question should be; "Why does man murder?" This is a situation of particular segments of society loosing thier values and culture ultimatly becoming a society in it's "base mentality", devoid of enlightenment. Mental health issues are the key to gun violence. Restricting the many for the transgressions of the few is a very ignorent, simplistic, immoral as well as an un-Constitutional view point.
