Failing to hang violent criminals speedily is 1.
I understand your worried, cautious concern and can appreciate you guarding your house with a rake and a rolling pin. The previous point was about respecting the views of others. You joined into agreeing that just because some or even many militia groups have been contaminated with anti-government wackiness that it means even the word "militia" should be banned, everyone disarmed and "reeducated". If I'm wrong there, then please correct me.

Blech, ain't gonna go back there again.
It's a real thing that could make America so much better for everybody. Exponentially, even.
I think Congress should bring back dueling but, like so many of their laws, only they can do it. After awhile, all the idiots who don't play well with others would eventually be attrited.
Canada is hardly old, and has much more hunters per capita than the USA. Australia is even younger, and is far from "sissy boys." Switzerland has guns throughout their society, with almost every male being in the military for decades of his life.
Seriously, you can have the same number of people with guns, or even more people with guns, but still have much less than half our murder rate. Or you can go full on Japanese, and end up with less than one thousandth our gun murder rate.
It is the equivalent of learning from what others are doing, both their mistakes and successes. It is what an adult does.
HA!
Exactly! Trump was killing us with his Fast-Food rhetoric.
Oh my, you are serious.
America has failed to keep guns out of the hands of criminals. In most other countries, if you sell a gun to a criminal who uses that gun in a crime, you are in real trouble. In the USA, it is usually acceptable. This is a failure on a monumental level.
To put this failure into perspective, almost all guns used in crimes in both Canada, and Mexico were originally legally bought in the USA, and we are doing NOTHING about it.
Canada has the land area of the continental US with less total people than California and only slightly more than Texas. Anyone wanting to immigrate to Canada can easily do so. Australia has less people than Texas.
Agreed about learning from mistakes. One mistake is to cram a square peg into a round hole. I could make a cruder example, but am sure you under stand the point.

They don't have much freedom in Mexico and Canada.

You are definitely a strange bird. Not that that's a bad thing.
Actually, the best way to avoid getting killed by an idiot with a gun is to avoid contact with idiots with guns. It is not fool proof, but it is the best way.
You want me to respect the views of someone you admit is a dangerous idiot?
That is a little extreme, but it is time to remember that a militia is a military unit setup under the authority of the state. The "militia groups" are not really militias. The National Guard, and the state police are the real militias.
During the Whiskey Rebellion, George Washington used the military to crush unauthorized militias. One of the charges against Aaron Burr was he allegedly tried to setup unauthorized militias. The Mormons were run out of Missouri when they refused to disband unauthorized militias. This was not considered the joke many seem to think it is today. It was the equivalent of running around claiming to be a police officer.
See, I talk about getting universal background checks, which you apparently can not argue against, because instead you have to make up positions for me.
I would first correct you on your immigration claim. Immigration to Canada is not easy, and anyone cannot do it. Sometimes it is easier than immigrating to America, but sometimes it is more difficult. They do limit immigration.
Canada and Australia both have large uninhabited areas, major cities, minor cities, suburbs, and rural areas like the USA. Technically they both have slightly more urban populations than the USA. But both have more hunting than the USA too.
AND THEY HAVE GUN CONTROL!!!
Gun control can co-exist with hunting, rural areas, and the rest.
I am not going to argue about Mexico, but are you really claiming that Canadians do not have much freedom? Really?
Just do it Saw style.
