8 more slaughtered in the US.

Looks like a country where the citizens embrace conspiracy theories.

First line:  

For years, there's been an absolutely stupid rumor that the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, birthplace of Henry Ford, is now under extreme Muslim Sharia law.

Human trafficking is a huge topic to tackle.  The sentence you wrote is that Michigan is a hotspot for human trafficking.  I couldn't find specific comparisons of rates of human trafficking in Michigan to other states.  I don't like to look too hard for these stats. - they might exist.

Human trafficking is shockingly common around the world.

According to an International Labour Organization report from 2012, a staggering three out of every 1,000 people worldwide are in forced labor. That's nearly 21 million people, including 1.5 million in North America – where the U.S. defines human trafficking as falling into two categories, sex trafficking and labor trafficking, under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act passed in 2000.

I mean I can post several links, and I'm 30 minutes from dearborn. We are not "conspiracy theorists". We rank #2 in human trafficking as well. A few girls in the mission escaped from sex trade. They are working with the fbi on the methods used by traffickers.  In the city I live in, we have over 500 registered sex offenders....so, I'm not down with forking over my right to arms to a government that protects criminals.  I'm a very peaceful person and I'm against taking life, but if I need to blow out a knee cap in order to protect my little girls, I'm gonna do it. We need to solve the crime and poverty issue. Stripping rights from non criminals will not do that and frankly, Americans are too rightfully spooked to go for that.

[Bricktop]

It is clearly established that you possessing a gun will not prevent crime. It is a misconception. Despite your massive aresenal of guns in private hands, your crime rate is comparable with most other western nations, higher than some, lower than others.



The problem is fear.



America is a nation built on fear. It fears its own citizens. It fears its own Government. It fears other nations. Having a gun in your hand alleviates that fear, at both the individual and national level. But as we've seen on BOTH levels, your military might and private gun ownership has solved nothing, and has created far more problems than solutions.

[Frood]

Problem is also lack of fear or distrust in nations with strict rules on weapon ownership. Governments should never be permitted a monopoly on force, or they inevitably start eating up their populace one way or another. A vote is not self defense and it's far from civilized regardless of what some self defense naysayers say otherwise.

I never expected that you would understand. Your kind are unlikely to ever bite the hand which has fed you or have a good hard look at your identity and life choices.

So it's weird that we don't fear our government is going to use force on us?  Do you mistake us for a bunch of do-nothings should the government get out of line?
