GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Blindgreed1]

And uhhh... Regarding those other civilized societies: Look at the most recent data. Violent crimes and suicide rates are up.

First, I don't much care about suicide rates and I'm not sure how that pertains to guns (unless people are killing themselves because their guns were taken away).

With regards to violent crimes, are the rates "up" in those countries as compared to prior years or "up" as in higher than the United States? I doubt it's the latter and certainly not where guns are concerned.





I don't expect or necessarily want to get rid of all guns. I want nationwide regulations and certain guns to be banned (the semi-automatics and any other high capacity, rapid fire type guns). I'm gun illiterate (and too lazy to look it up) so that's my lame description regarding weapons. I just don't see the need for the average citizen to have those any more than I think they should be able to own grenade launchers.

I can get charts and graphs too. Who has the better data? That's what matters.
