    I wonder... there's obviously a certain condescension with this thread and some posts.

    I'm curious about the reactions a parallel thread "[USA News] They Shootin' Err'body Up In Here: Recent Shooting" where all the recent shootings in the US are posted would get.

    possibly not the same reaction, as shootings in the US are usually prosecuted (if there is any proof)

    While prosecution is a key part of the issue, I guess I'm more curious how gun carrying advocates see the India issue and then view the shootings that continue to occur in the US...

    Hear of mass rapings in India -> 3rd world country, backwards and misogynist society, lack of prosecution

    Hear of mass shootings in the USA -> ?

    While I can predict gun carrying advocates will find points to show the parallel isn't logically sound,
    I can guarantee you there are people throughout the world and the US that

    Hear of mass shootings in the USA -> antiquated 3rd world mentality, backwards and violent society, proliferation of guns and inability to control > gun education

    I'm sure it's happened in the US at least once... therefore, we can't be hypocrites about this with our outrage and act like it doesn't happen in 90% of the world the same way...

    Agreed. Our officials often say rape is only sometimes wrong. Other times it is either right, or an accident.

    I have no idea why you need Uber in a third world country. The afluent can easily afford a real cab or hire a permanent driver.

    None, there are probably shootings everyday in India*, they just don't have local staff reporters checking police-scanners twenty hours a day to post something online and on the cable news channels.

    *More so due to it's massive size than to any sectarian strife or outright chaos comparable to Middle East or Africa.

    I think this is how the logic would flow from the gun carrying advocates:

    Hear of mass rapings in India -> 3rd world country, backwards and misogynist society, lack of prosecution

    Hear of mass shootings in the USA -> that's why they need guns in India, to shoot anyone who tries to attack them
