    Australia counts their murders in the few hundred, the US it is a 5 digit figure.

    All you are saying is that America has a larger Population than Australia does.

    The trends speak for themselves. America has more than thirty years of homicide improvements, while Australia only has a handful of years.

    Actually, it is one of the few things that has not been a droning repetition of nonsense.

    The past does not necessarily predict the future.

    So....where does the United States rank?

    How about #30 with only 2.4 Homicide rate (murders per 100,000 people)....ONLY 2.4!!!!!


    Incidentally the United States is by far...a factor of over 500 Times Greater....by FAR the most heavily armed Population on the face of the Earth.

    Yes, it means I can be stoned out of my gourd and still come up with better arguments than those of the opposing view.

    A better failed argument you mean. You come up with the best failed argument (which is more of a mantra than any kind of argument) than anyone else on this forum.

    By what Standard? Those of your point of view lose every time you resort to fallacy.

    Which reality is that, if those of your point of view have nothing but fallacy for their Cause?

    I think the question posted earlier deserves an answer. If guns make America safer then why does America have the highest rate of gun crimes in all categories, of all civilized Western nations? Shouldn't be too hard to answer.

    Switzerland has a higher "gun in the home" rate than we do. Fortunately for them they don't have the gang bangers and violent criminals. Why is that do you think? I have lived in Europe for 16 years, and not a one of them would apologize for a cop shooting a person they thought had a gun, and the young wannabe criminals know this.

    BTW, if you answer one stupid question for a spammer he will never leave you alone.
