hmmm I guess you are right...
Ok fine maybe it shouldn't be banned.. but I still think it has something to do with how people are raised and stuff... Kinda like old "cowboy" attitude or something.
My point is that I believe you could make that number lower.. without banning guns.
I mean Its not a anti US comment... all countries have something positive and negative... something negative that might be better in another country.
I don't know how much people are doing something about this in the US but I believe you could make that number lower.
By the way I think one of the biggest problems in the US is how much money the rich people have and how poor some people are... people don't think its fair and end up doing crimes.
I think the minimal salary here is like 20% higher than in the US because the rich people don't get as much

Also cheaper to get a education and all hospitals are a part of the government so everybody get the same service.. doesn't matter if you are rich or poor.
And the crime rate here is one of the lowest in the world.
But heh I´m not saying its a perfect country... many things worse than in countries like the US... just the crime rate thing and stuff is lower because of all the things I wrote above... or atleast I think thats the reason.
