I don't believe in the death penalty, either but I also mostly don't agree with the rest. Similar punishment was part of the law in England in the 18th century and they got wise and threw it out. Now days, no country practices such harsh punishment. Well, maybe some of the failed states.
Yeah, Singapore is such a shit hole. The harsher the laws, the more obedient the general population will be. More respect, out of fear.
Ive never minded people wanting CCP and having guns. Just have better background checks. the NRA wants it to be easy only for self gain. But that comes at the cost of peoples lives. Blood money. I have a problems with people wanting ar-15s and the like to not be outlawed. What good have those guns EVER done? The answer is nothing. There is no justification to have them.
When I was graduating from college, I was offered jobs in Singapore and Venezuela. I chose working here. Now, I think I made a good choice. By the way, it's illegal to chew gum on the sidewalks of Singapore. There's also a law about showing affection to your loved one in public. Again, they do not tolerate homosexuality. Not really a good place to be since you must constantly watch your back.
I think war only proves that there will always be bad guys with guns, so there needs to also be good guys with guns.
Could you imagine the James Gang rolling into town shooting things up and nobody has a fire arm to defend themselves. Every generation since this country was founded private citizens have had guns for bringing home the bacon and protection. Im all for checks and addressing recklessness with firearms. Gangs & Thugs will always their guns, one way or the other.
