Polygon is the manifestation of the scenario wherein "you can never please everybody." They actively try to be offended. I'm pro gun-control and frankly I'm more than happy with the statement this game made, and that's saying a lot because I never asked for a statement and wouldn't have cared in the least if it was absent.,(reply>), This is a real interesting topic, while there are countries with a very low homicde rate like Switzerland and Iceland that have many guns but a very low homicide rate there seems to be some kind of correlation. But I would say that to a large extent the number of firearms isn't responsible (but likely has some effect, i believe). I believe that the reason that there is a correlation is much more cultural. A culture that is more likely to have a lot of guns is also more likely to have certain values. Like a deep distrust in the government and law enforcement. While I still think that gun regulation could improve the situation somewhat, the real issues are rarely discussed. Iceland and Switzerland are countries with a very high societal cohesion. If someone would really like to reduce the homicide rate the best approach seems to be to increase aforementioned cohesion. Which might take deacades and isn't very easy to pull of, especially with the deep distrust towards government (which is well earnt btw).<br>While I personally don't really see any reason why  people would need guns, I have the feeling that the sole focus on gun ownership is hurting the chances of really solving the problem.<br>The efforts it would take are sadly not very popular among many conservative groups (and I include groups that are leaning toward the domocratic party) but polling often indicates that the conservative voter is much more open to some ideas than many believe. But with a congress in the pocket of big finance and other special interest groups I don't have much hope for the imediate future (and I mean  BOTH parties).<br>The real dividing line isn't so much between progressives, liberals or conservatives but between corporate power and the average guy. Even with decades of propaganda, many people on the right are far more reasonable than the dividing force of corparate media lets us to believe.<br><br>Even as someone who is very on the left of Germanies political system, I could see the appeal of Trump, sadly he doesn't seem to remember a lot of the things he said when he campaigned. His anti establishment views are just retorical at this point. He appoints only Billionaires ore people who are deeply entrenched in corporate power structures (Goldman Sachs etc.)<br>The republican and the democratic voters have far more in common with eatch others than with the people representing them. So there might be  glimmer of hope.,(reply>), Ja La Land gun control never works. People just use trucks to kill people like what just happened in Germany. But keep up the talking points bro I got plenty of popcorn
