What the TS's figures don't say is that there was a sharp drop in gun ownership over that period. It also doesn't show that it is in the states with stricter gun control that saw the sharper drops in gun crime.

 

[B Man]

Actually no need to compare inside USA, just compare with other countries with strict gun laws...

Just how much school shootings do we have? Zero. Correlation between gun ownership and gun related crimes are at at amazing high. Yet they are being told that its not guns that kill people. Absurd.

The only parties profiting from all these laws are the gun companies.

Quite true.

In Spore, more pay for ministers = no corruption.

 

[The_Hypocrite]

One fact about the USA is tat for the amount of gun ownership vs crime. The rates r very low compared to other countries. Also owning a gun is not as easy as its made out too be. Any way Charlton Heston said the right thing. Guns dont kill people. People kill people.

If Shane Todd owned a gun, he would not have been classified as a suicide.

I agree. More nuclear weapons in the world will mean less nuclear weapons-related deaths.
