>Utterly nonsense. If you look a the world globe, the countries with restrictive gun laws are far more safer than countries who do not. Almost evry existing statistic point that way. The gun law lobby should come with convincing statistics to explain why the US is so much more violent than any other western countries (except SA).

You do realize that SA is an entire continent :)

There are many countries in the west with higher per capita homicide rates than the U.S.

The statement "US is so much more violent" is a pretty broad and even sloppy statement. Yes, we in the U.S. have more than our share of issues right now. It's a separate discussion on why, but the fact is that U.S. violent crime rates in general have dropped over the years. Also remember that other countries might have a lower reported per capita homicide rate but fail badly in the area of due process under the law. Additionally, in viewing the homicide rates by country, I found countries with lower reported rates that also have horrible records on human rights, oppression of women, unreported honor killings, etc.
