Correlation is not cause and effect.

We have a higher crime rate too.

You think it's coincidence.

Besides gun ownership (which is actually not that big of an issue here) the dynamic of our society is totally different than yours.

If many of our freedoms were taken away then our crime rate might lower. Who knows?

Not an apples to apples comparison.

What freedoms do you have that I don't.

I am intrigued.

Ooh, many freedoms, missed that.

Less kids buy guns, meaning more kids are scared to jack your house, meaning less of your shit stolen, meaning you americans will have to go out hunting for your daily prey.

Less intruders, more random shootings, it doesn't make sense, but hey, thats the American way.

I can't be sure specifically, beats me.

We have differences in law, capitalism, multiple cultures, etc. I hear of people wanting to come hear more than England to make their own way.

The point is our countries are not merely separated by gun ownership and water. Maybe folks have to much fun here. I really couldn't tell ya. I just know it ain't merely gun ownership.

Besides criminal's shooting the local 7-Eleven clerk during a robbery, or the innocent bystander, guns are not on our minds....unless I'm listening to some rap or watching Menace To Society. :unsure:

I know what j2s point was (albeit lighthearted) but that had nothing to do with what i pointed out.

A lawfully armed "idiot" is JUST as dangerous as an armed criminal.

Arm an idiot...add "the boys", a pickup and a couple of cases of beer....
