The whole gun debate is like people talking about how they should ban all the cars and everyone should use public transit. It makes sense for urban population

The whole gun debate is like people talking about how they should ban all the cars and everyone should use public transit.
It makes sense for urban population to think about banning all cars and only using public transit, but it's insane for rural population to consider that. The urban population hasn't owned a car in generations, so it doesn't even make sense to them why anyone would own a car. Most Europeans are urbanites, and have banned cars for over half a century, so they can't make sense why Americans are so hard set on their cars and give weird suggestions about how getting rid of cars vs public transportation is a prisoner's dilemma.
- hello_marmalade 7y agoHah, interesting to see an analogy I've made before to explain different situations. This is accurate. The US is huge. A lot of European nations could quite literally fit inside of one of our states, with room left over. Hell some could fit inside of Los Angeles county. We're also not ethnically or culturally homogeneous, which are the reasons why we have so many issues that Europeans consider 'solved'.
