>>>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).

>>According to your logic if tomorrow Netherlands abolishes or does away with gun laws, the crime/killing rate will go up to the same level as in USA or SA. Good thing you have gun laws or otherwise Dutch people would start killing each other.

>You might not realise it, but you're actually correct. If you have problems and you have a gun in the house, it will increase the chance of that gun being involved in crimes. It is a whole lot more difficult to kill half of the people in a cinema with a knife than with a gun. I'm just stunned that some people just can't grasp some very simple logic. I just cannot wrap my head around why it is that difficult to see. It is not rocket science.

>After several devastating wars on the European continent that costed millions of lives, gun control was one of the things that was put into place to make sure that people could not just kill eachother by pulling your finger on the trigger. Perhaps because the most of the US did not experience the horrors of genocide and destruction to the level that was practised here, they are still in the believe you can protect yourself with a gun. Who knows, But I find it unbelievable.

You might not realize it :), but I think you are incorrect. 99.999% of people do not resolve problems by looking for a gun. But when people hate they find a way to kill ( pressure cookers, airplanes, cars, etc.). I repeat what you have heard many times: ... people kill people.

As to the genocide and the millions killed in Europe, that was not done by civilians with guns. That was done by police and armed forces. Europe still has police and armed forces. So what has changed?
