    You seem to be implying that anger in disputes is the main factor causing gun violence
    and I'm saying that if that was true places like Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, etc who have fairly high gun ownership rates would also have much higher gun violence rates compared to what they actually have which is very little gun violence

    I never claimed that it was the main factor. I claimed that it might be a factor, and that many homicides are not associated with other felony crimes. I don't doubt that SES is a contributing factor in BOTH cases - I imagine that education might influence interpersonal violence, whereas economic security might impact felony-associated violence. Ultimately, testing the causality behind the sort of hypothesis that I proposed is impossible for ethical reasons, but we can look at it through correlation. I'll go back to the site and see if they have information about causes of firearm murder by state. I'm sure the data is there, but it might not be published.

    I agree with you then
    It would be interesting to find those statistics on whether "many homicides are not associated with other felony crimes"

    Probably the single most effective measure that could be taken would be the legalization of drugs. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but a really huge portion of murders in the USA are gang/drug related. Destroy that lucrative black market and you will, over time, cut down on the violence significantly.

    The percentage of gang murders has been remarkably reduced as far as I am aware (and I believe it accounts for a majority of the decline in the overall homicide rate between now and the 90s). It seems interpersonal arguments (I'm assuming many of these are relational violence) are a big piece of the pie, and not just crimes committed during another felony / gang shoot out.

    Relevant stats, not sure if there are more recent ones available with this level of detail.

    Personally, I think there is a decent argument to make that this type of violence could be reduced by stricter gun control legislation. I would imagine that many (if not all) of these murders occur when emotions are running high, and that having a gun on hand could make the decision to take a life that much easier for the perpetrator.

    Or are they just less prone to anger in the north east? lol

    I'm fairly certain it has to do with socioeconomic status

    Gun wankery

    I wouldn't be so quick to blame a former Yugo state, but I wouldn't be surprised. Though I also think there's some portraying of "Central Europe" as the last bastion of civilization and then everything south/east of the Ljubljanica and Drava rivers where the "Balkans" begins = rapists, barbarians, lawlessness etc. Then there's the Czech Republic, I mean a place like Serbia can't be compared to the Czech Republic necessarily, but it seems like every time a terrorist/would be "bad guy" goes to Prague and buy a rifle because of their liberal gun laws they end up getting shut down in that endeavour.

    Interestingly enough the weapons used back in the January Paris came from Slovakia

    The airspace between Turkey and Greece is impossible to distinguish at places. You can swim the distance between some of the Greek islands and the Turkish mainland, so I don't think those violations matter.

    The same can be said about that barely 2 mile stretch of land that Turkey decided was worth shooting down a Russian jet over.

    I like how when looking at the intercepting fighter's flight path it doesn't even try to establish contact or otherwise warn the Russian jet which is otherwise standard procedure in most civilized modern countries before going to shoot it down.

Sputniknews also made many propaganda against us on their Turkish website like saying "Voice records weren't clear, Turkey said they warned 20 times (our news channels mentioned it as 10 in 5 minutes via English and Russian) but records says that they warned 2 times.

    Alparslan Çelik is a Turkish citizen and Grey Wolves member, a member of the MHP party. Born in Keban district, Elazığ province. He is the commander of the Turkmen unit circulating around the news where he said he and his men shot at the Russian pilots.

    I agree with the message of a lot of those resolutions, however they are nothing but a political stunt that serves no purpose. Certainly none of them were done with the expectation that they would change anything. Which is what my joke was referencing.

    The moral of the story is - if you take someone's land, make sure you genocide them too. Alternatively, make sure they are Mexico and watch them illegally immigrate into your country by milions 150 years later. Then elect Trump and build a big, beautiful wall.

    No, no, that wasn't genocide, they got themselves killed on their own accord stumbling into the desert. Like those trucks full of ISIS oil are entering Turkey on their own.

    So what? Did second (or even third) biggest nation of US started a separatist terrorist organization-movement? Are they deserve their own country(or state if we are talking about US's democracy). :neutral:

    I know it's kinda poor to comparise this and that. But I don't like the way how people sees Kurds like heroes or freedom fighters. Yes I'm defending my Kurdish brothers. I hate Counterguerilla(or JİTEM), NATO-US puppet governments and their actions in the past. Kurds are part of this country, no need to divide. You guys just confused.

    There's absolutely no way you can compare African-Americans to Kurds, at all, or ancestral difference to different ethnicities and cultures.
    If the Kurds weren't a unique ethnicity with their own language and culture and were just Turks that do to geographical separation or whatever developed some uniqueness I could see an argument. But that is not the case.
