    5. America is a force for good in the world

    6. The Enlightenment makes Western culture superior

    7. The post-war boom where a single income could buy a hose/ car/ and college was a universal reality and not exclusive to white men.

      guns make you safe

      my ex tried to kill herself with pills, i think if we had a gun she would have succeeded. i think every person i have known to die of gun wounds were self inflicted

        I’m worried you know enough people to make a statistically significant conclusion.

        Prior art confirms: overwhelmingly, the gun you are shot with will be your own. Next is one weilded by someone well-known to you.

          i didn’t claim to give statistically significant conclusion, my statement was clearly anecdotal, so you can take it as such without being misleading
