    It cant be addressed, we are a violent people! You will never rid the U.S. of firearms because thugs need them to control their ghettos and they are always going to be available no matter what the laws demand! So the best you can do is simply make peace with a "Number" and let it go at that!

    No, not per capita. Thats why I said relative to population density...

    At what level would you define 'better'?
    Are you judging based on laws or by outcomes?

    If the U.S. were to come up with a way to cut the number of mass shootings in half without passing restrictive gun laws, I bet you would still be complaining that the number was too high.

    Per capita is the standard measurement used by researchers all over the world

    The U.S. does have comparable homicide rates to the rest of the world (when only looking at other countries with similar demographic factors).

    I covered that in this thread: U.S. homicide rates compared to different countries

    No plan? We have several in place already.. Everything you want we do already. The problem you have is you cant even control the people in the ghettos with felony records from owning a firearm :) The leftist plan is to disarm the law abiding citizen in some deranged attempt to curb mass murder and murder.

    It's insanity at best!

    That's your problem, you are trying to model the U.S. after some other country, simply will not happen because we are nothing alike :)

    See you are already stumped with just two posts :) You have no argument other than we should be like others and the U.S. is nothing like other countries :)

    A plan to do what? Lower them? Lower them this year, then lower them next year, then the year after that, keep lowering them. Pass more and more laws, because it's never going to all go away.

    You don't even have a target outcome goal in mind.

    I dunno what to tell ya. We have 10 times the gun crime as Canada and 10 times the population density as well.

    Maybe they use per capita because they like the results better ;)

    Sorry, no middle ground. After you call in each class of gun, the next class will be used for mass murder. A school shooting that was done with revolvers and shotguns proved that. Call in all the guns and only the criminals will be armed.

    When I was a kid we could buy mail order rifles when you were 14 with no problem. You could buy mail order pistols with a note saying you were 21. Guns were that easy to buy and there was no mass killings in the 1960s.

    Society has changed and degenerated. Just how things worked out. UK has no guns and they use acid to disfigure people. As things decompose guns will be more important than ever for survival.

    Family has decomposed,bad food, bombarded with radio waves, affordable housing and medical, toilet to tap drinking water, stress...something got to give. There is not always an answer to every problems human devise. Believe me, I wish I had one.

    I say we should eliminate all homicides and not rest until we do.
    Computer chips implanted in every person. Run it like a totalitarian Nazi-style society, until no one can kill anyone.

    I know what to tell you. Per capita is the standard scientific measurement. Not just for this....for everything. Sorry
