Well, as much I like this debate here right now, at the end we just have diffrent opinions on this topic.

If america wants to keep ther weapons even though statistic shows that with good gun laws ther are less killings, than its fine with me.
Thats a topic america have to slove on ther own.
It's not about guns. The US has more murders per capita THAT DONT INVOLCE FIREARMS than a lot of other countries have total.

Getting rid of (legal) guns might reduce gun violence and might reduce overall violence thereby... but the US is still more violent than elsewhere anyways

But if you look at demographic slices of the US instead of the whole? Guess who owns the most guns but commit a very small amount of the country's violent crime? The well-off folk. Guess who own few guns but commit a majority of the violent crime? The poor folk.

There are problems that need fixing here that are a bigger contributor to violent crime than inanimate objects, and those fixes wouldn't involve disarming law-abiding citizens.

Guns don't cause crime. The worst mass killings are planes and fertilizer and trucks, not guns. Guns DO help stop crime. Guns DO have other purposes besides self-defense.

Too bad a shitload of people are ignorant and dependent and thin-skinned. They fear what they don't understand, devour anything they see on TV or the web that meshes with their preconceived notions as fact without critical thought, and are throw a fit any time someone else does something that upsets their delicate sensibilities.
