Most gun deaths are suicides and people shooting their relatives over who drank the last can of Milwaukee's Best.
But here's the thing. We lock up 2 million "criminals" (usually just poor or addicted people who did something stupid) and we have another 7 mlllion on probation or parole where they aren't allowed to own guns.
And we have 300 million legal guns in the hands of people compensating for their tiny penises...
How's that working out?
Well, while most industrialized countries have murder rates in the hundreds, we have murder rates in the tens of thousands.
Maybe instead of cowering in fear of the mess that a plutocratic society creates, we should get about fixing the causes... like every other advanced democracy has done.
Suicide accounts for 50% of gun deaths.
Your theory is that banning guns will cut the suicide rate by 50%.
You are an idiot.
Murder rates are measured not in numbers but by %.
US is 5.2 per 100,000
Venezuala a communist country of your brothers is 48 per 100,000
Brazil 22 per 100,000
Italy has a higher % of homicides by guns than we do.
Try again. Plutocrats have been kicking your ass with facts.
Wow, you see, this is where you are being dishonest. Please note, I said, "advanced Democracy" and "industrialized country". Brazil and Venezuala don't count as either.
Italy had 246 gun homicides in 2008 (the last year they have data for) and a gun homicide rate of .41 per 100,000 people. Their total homicide rate was 590 people, or a rate of 1 per 100,000 people.
Guns in Italy: Facts, Figures and Firearm Law.
The US had 16,259 homicides in 2010, a rate of 5.27 per 100,000. Of those, 11,078 were committed with guns. or 3.59/100,000... Our murder rate is five times what Italy has...
The numbers are worse when compared with Japan, the UK or Germany, which are countries with wealth and affluence closer to our own.
Facts never count when they prove you wrong.
