IB4 glenn beck money grabbing site not a credible source....... Why not find the story on local news web page before posting ???????? dammit you guys have got to step it up

It really is an unnecessary burden but I understand the need for it. It's no less news than the Huffington Post as far as I can tell.

So why do places with absolutely strict gun laws - Japan, Singapore, etc - have almost no crime?

There are about a billion factors at play here. Gun/gun ownership is but one variable.

How am I disrespecting the constitution?

Also, are you related to Vedubin?

I would venture another factor is other countries have a more homogenous culture.

That observation would be interesting if not for the fact most, almost all actually, violent street crime occurs within homogenous groups.

Then they wouldn't be homogeneous, would they? People who have a similar belief system do not kill each other. The Japanese don't kill each other because they believe in the same values.

The data is clear on this--there's no dispute on this among anyone who has looked at murders and street crime. This isn't something that people on various sides of political issues dispute. It's a unanimous conclusion. If you want to dispute it make sure you look at the data first.

Stranger to stranger crime across ethnic groups is extremely rare. Almost all violent crime occurs between members of the same race, gender, and age groups. The most violent is a male between his teens and mid to late twenties.

That's also around the time frontal lobe development finishes, which is the part of the brain that controls impulsivity.

These facts: that most violence occurs between members of small networks, is spontaneous, and occurs most frequently among men without fully functional rational choice centers of e brain coupled with the fact that our nations punishment is based in large part on rational choice theory is the main reason our violent crime is so high--not because we have a lot of diversity in this country.

We don't even have a lot of inter-cultural diversity anyway.
