I have an idea, what do you think the effect on crimes using a gun would be if we took the guilty and hung them in the public square?
Gun crime would become a non-factor
-Geaux
Yeah, that would be a pretty retarded idea, given we've had 142 people who were sent to death row released when it was discovered someone else did it.
10,000 innocent people are convicted of crimes every year due to incompetent lawyers, corrupt cops, etc.
Acceptable risk

And don't sell to Mexicans.
For the slow and stupid.
the USA has 3 percent violent crime by population
The United Kingdom has 10 percent by population
Germany has 7 percent by population
France has 5 percent by population.
Canada has 7 percent by population.
The murder rate in the US is 4.7 per 100000 as established by the FBI. The link in question shows that 3.6 of those are by firearms.

A reminder of where it is more violent, those countries with strict firearm laws.
London is more violent than Miami...who knew?
This is the load of BS the gun nuts are trying to sell...
You folks are living in a fantasy world. Please buy some gravity boots and come back down to earth.London is more violent than Miami...who knew?

There are between 270-300 million guns in the USA. To put this in perspective, 4% of the worlds population owns 50% of all privately owned guns in the world. Some would think this would mean that the USA should have a homicide rate over 12x (50% divided by 4%) higher than the rest of the world.
In 2012 the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime compared intentional homicide rates for most countries in the world. USA's rate was 4.8 per 100,000 inhabitants while the worldwide average was 6.9. These figures mean you are 30% less likely to be murdered in the USA than elsewhere in the world.. The 4.8 homicide rate is not even close to 12 times higher than the rest of the world.
The UN relies on figures submitted by member nations. And the problem is, the US ONLY counts violent crimes, everyone else counts all crimes.
We have 16,000 murders, we lock up 2 million Americans and have another 7 million on probation and parole. We are awash in crime. Guns have a lot to do with it.
Yeah, that would be a pretty retarded idea, given we've had 142 people who were sent to death row released when it was discovered someone else did it.

So if you get falsely accused of a crime, you'll happily let them hang you in the public square becuase you'll be providing a fine example to discourage criminals? Really?
Besides the fact that capital punishment has no deterent value, I don't see you as being that selfless.
I'm sure you'll happily volunteer other innocent people up for wrongful execution, though.

That would be news to nearly everyone on the planet...including the Mayor of Miami...
I am in favor of having fewer guns in circulation. The problem is simple, it would be impossible to enforce. Most pro gun control supporters must have no idea of just who many guns exist in the USA and with an equal split between legal and illegal.
I have no problem with hunting; but would like to have a rule, "You must eat what you shoot." The people I worry about most are not the criminals but those who know nothing about guns. I have been asked many times. "Which gun should I buy for self defense?" Anyone asking that question should not be allowed to own one.

As I already posted in reply to this:
It's interesting how you pick those cities, which so clearly demonstrate massive differences between the US and the UK. London you can basically only arrive from air. Miami is a melting pot from Latin America, both legal and illegal immigration.
As I've pointed out before, your cliche of gun owners being mainstream white, more rural Americans is largely true. The lie is that isn't where more than a fraction of the gun crimes are occurring. Gun crimes are dominated by inner city, mostly non-white communities with a high rate committed by illegal aliens.
In other words, gun crimes are largely committed where they are already banned. Your solution? Banning them. Why will it work? You don't know. Why doesn't it work for drugs? You don't know. You do know it works in Europe. Why there? You don't know. You just know we have to do what we do for drugs and wait a long, long time, then bam, it'll work.

Boom...there go the goal posts yet again.
Gee, London is more voilent than Detroit. Who Knew? That would be news to everyone on the planet...including the Mayor of Detroit.
It's in the middle of the country pretty much....
Excuse time...ready...set...go!

Just only sell guns to people who pass IQ and drug tests.
