Firearms are a balancing act. There are negatives to an armed society, but there are positives. I've given you hard statistical analysis from research papers that point to the fact that guns do not cause more crime in the US, but I fail to see your repudiation of them. Europe is safer because it's a different society than ours, not because of the presence guns. I challenge you to come to America and understand the gun culture we have. They are not as crazy as you may think them to be.

Guess here's the difference between your gun culture and the European one:

More Dakka has consequences, it seems.

You prooved my point. Look at how randomly spread about they are. More people in switzeland own guns, less deaths. same for a lot of differnt points on the map. Overall it goes up. but also what are the other crimes like. If the US has more crimes, then they will ofcourse have more gun crimes.
