I have explained it...... Fatherless homes...the welfare state destroying the family, our welfare state destroyed our family structure starting in the 1960s...their family destruction is just now happening.........and now in Europe, immigrants from 3rd world countries that do not believe in Western values.
Again, you are just dumb if you think there weren't fatherless homes GB especially after WW2., and there are just as many broken homes there now as here. Their demographics in that area have reflected ours closely for a long time. That excuse is bullshit. You whine because we are at least trying to help some of our citizens with affordable healthcare. They have had government paid healthcare for a long time. With all the other benefits they give their people, a direct comparison with us is not fair, because they take better care of their citizens than we do. Their tax rate is 40% to 45% for everyone whose income is $41,463,70 and above. Your bullshit excuse just doesn't hold water..
Culture, not access to guns...you moron....
Republic of Ireland is deadliest place to live in Irish and British Isles - new figures - Independent.ie
The Republic of Ireland is the deadliest place to live in the Irish and British isles - startling new figures have confirmed.
An Independent.ie analysis of homicide rates over the last decade reveals that you are almost six times more likely to be shot and killed in the 26 counties as you are in England/Wales.
And, contrary to popular belief, the gun homicide rate in the Irish Republic was more than double that of Northern Ireland for the ten years from 2005 to 2015.
Gang members know that if they are confronted by gardai they will almost certainly have the upper hand when it comes to firearms.
"Irish police have extendable batons and pepper spray - Irish criminals have Glochs and AK47's - there can only be one winner.
"Modern Irish criminals regard An Garda Siochana and their tools as play things - in the meantime, people get eviscerated in the cross fire generated by these gun toting savages."
And that's why I asked you to point out the differences in our cultures. It's obvious that we have much better access to guns.
I don't think you know much about crime rates in Ireland

Ireland v Britain........ same ability to get guns...Ireland more violent...access to guns doesn't drive gun crime or murder....culture does...
Please explain how your theory works if as more Americans now own and actually carry guns...over 18.6 million of us......why is it that the gun murder rate went down 49% and the gun crime rate went down 75%? Please explain that if access to guns is the driver....
Quit trying to change the subject. You said we kill more than they do because of our culture. What is different about our culture other than the fact that every crazy out there is armed to the teeth, and we kill so many more than others?
And more.....
The family versus the "Hood." Two researchers from the National Institute of Mental Health, John E. Richters and Pedro Martinez, have studied families in high-risk inner-city neighborhoods. Their study indicates that only 6 percent of children from stable, safe homes become delinquent. Meanwhile, 18 percent of children from homes rated as either unstable or unsafe (broken marriage or lack of supervision) became delinquent, but 90 percent of children from homes rated as both unstable and unsafe became delinquent. Only 10 percent did not.
