Still people use sources that are directly related to Pro-Gun groups. How is that a ceditble source ?

But since you asked:

http://www.gun-control-network.org/GF01.htm
http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/public-health/phb/HTML2003/march03html/article4p48.html
http://www.aic.gov.au/media/2000/20001122.html

The problem is that the dicsussion is way too polerised. There is no objective stance within the US unless you analyse the FBI stats yourself.

But this should not be neccesary
Look at western Europe whether the average homicide rate is 5 times lower than the US. Should the US not look outside their little box and see what we do differently to handle this?? Sure gun-control probably is not the only thing that is neccesary (Adressing poverty to name another one).

IOW, isn't it time to look at WHY there is such a difference between europe and the US and how the US can learn from europe, trying to deal with the issue ??

Can anyone list a reason WHY the european model will not work in the US?
