LOL.. great point

HAHAHAHAH oh yeah, instead let's register all of the guns and ban all handguns like they did in London, a city of which that has the highest per capita crime rate since they enacted such a policy.

Give me a fucking break.

midnightman if you think the US can't do anything about the gun problem then you are wrong... its that simple.

Just look over to Japan

midnightman · 08-07-2003, 10:37 PM

Or I can look at Switzerland, which requires every adult male to have at least one "assault" rifle in his home. As of 2002 Switzerland has the lowest per capita Swiss-on-Swiss crime rate in the world.

So just because of Switzerland everything is OK in the Us ?

The nation of Japan is more then half of the population in the US... still less than 100 people die per year there by guns...

ITS OVER 10.000 IN THE US!!! Wake up!

Oh okay, that means we should go take the guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens like myself in order to stop those criminals that are killing the 10000/year, even though no matter how much you regulate the gun market criminals will always find a way to buy them off of some underground market somewhere.

99.98% of firearms in the US, legal or not, WILL NEVER BE USED IN A CRIME OR INSTILL DEATH UPON ANOTHER PERSON. Does it make sense to take away/regulate 100% just to get at the remaining 0.02% ?

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.

WOW... that is so scary... but as far as I know, U.S. is the only country out of these where guns are legal... I never did understud why - because they should be illegal... everywhere! Guns kill and if they were not legal it would really change these statics!
