Why are you so obsessed with gun shot homocides, if you compare Europe as a whole with the USA it's about the same, so no, this is not a US problem, Europe is just as violent and has similar rates of homocide as the USA.

IF i have to choose between getting shot or stabbed, i'd choose getting shot.

The point is that it doesn't matter how tyou kill someone. You are selectively usaing statistics to be anti-gun when in fact having guns has nothing to do with it.

South America has some of the strictest gun laws in the world, they also have the highest number of murder rates, so wtf does guns have to do with it??

Once again you have proven that yur username is ironic.

Good effort to support guns fair play. shame you have to swear so much sort of makes you look stupid. Also to choose ways to be murdered is also insane and in incredibly bad taste. I repeat death by guns statistics are way higher per head in america than any other civilized nation. now why do you think this is and why do you ignore it? do you think america should have 300 million guns? maybe you think they should have more? how many more? 500 million ? 1000 million? should every adult and every child have a hand gun each? where do you draw the line?

also your claim that deaths by guns is as high in europe as america is a lie. also the european population in total is almst twice as much as america. however it is the death rate per person we need to concern ourselves with here. america has harsher sentences , longer sentences, more executions, yet still the gun murders are miles and miles ahead of the rest of the civilized world? I want to see this reduced ? do you? Ive made my suggestions, what are yours>?
