[Vedubin01]

Stole this from another forum because this is brought up here quite often. Little bit of a long read.


discuss...

European study (Long study here) showing that the crime rates in major European countries are increasing while the US still continues to decline.

Must be because so many people are packing there everyone's afraid to do harm to others, tis the only logical conclusion.

[mrsleeve]

Um tis not the only logical conclusion, only in your narrow confined views maybe though.

For a genuine attempt at trolling, that was far too easy.

No I can't, it's beyond my ability.

Well if this is suposed to be a gun argueement then that data is nithor here or there.

The problem that anti gun people have is that they can kill someone alot easier then other conventional weapons. I think we need a survey showing population, guns registered or estimated, and death related to guns (not inculding accidental stuff, like looking down the barrel of your loaded gun.

Then we can take

Death realted to guns per year/(guns registered or estimated/population).

Crime rates and guns are not as simple as more guns less crime, what about avalibility of drugs, alcahole, social and ecanomical situations ect ect. General consensos of the public.

Ummm it could be that Europe during a great economy still had 10% unemployment rate; now its much worse....What??????? A high unemployment rate correlation to violent crimes is probably similar to ease of obtaining guns and school shootings.....See how easy that was.

The Democratic Party today announced that it is changing its symbol from the Donkey to a Condom because it more accurately reflects the Party's political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production, destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of dicks, and gives you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed!

yes the americian political machine, party vs party, is functioning just fine.
im not trying to piss in your ear but this is exactly the blame game that it set up to be.
for real insight read howard zinn, a peoples history of the united states.
imho, thinking that one party is the problem and one is the answer is what will stop true change from occuring.
just trying to inform. it helped me to see the big picture.
