What demographic accounts for the most violence in America their smart guy?
Not sure what "US demographics" have to do with the comparison of France and US murder rates.
But do you understand the "per 100,000" statistic? France is several times safer than the US when it comes to murder.
Originally posted by Time-Immemorialhow does this pertain to the discussion at hand? The violence rates were used to show that countries do not inherently become more violent due to heavy gun controls.
Move to France then if everyone is so scared of violence.I mean your rocking a sig of a crazed lunatic hell bent on destruction of a city.
Originally posted by Time-ImmemorialIt is easier to kill someone with a gun than it is to kill someone with a wooden spear. So yes guns do change things otherwise we never would have adopted them for killing to begin with.
People have been killing each other since time immemorial.Guns change nothing.

My car analogy destroys this argument to be honest.
We came up with cars to make life easier and they are the #1 cause of death in the word.
Cars are literally the most dangerous thing you can do.
Lets put things in a different light.
Do you know I have over 500 solo skydives and wing suit jumps mind you, and I will probably hit 10,000 in my life and still be safer then driving a car every day of my life..
