Here is a question for you and. Why does Australia and several other commonwealth countries have assault rates higher than the US?
If our guns make us violent and your gun control makes you so peaceful why do you have substantially higer rates of assault?

What about your rape statistics? More than twice the US?!?!?!? How could America be way safer for women when gun control has made Aus a crime free paradise. Do you think that perhaps it is becasue thanks to gun control Australian rapists have nothing to fear from their victims?

If Australian gun control makes you safe from murder why does Switzerland have a murder rate half of Australia? If the US has such a high murder rate why is it less than half the weighted average on this list? Why are contries with gun control like Mexico way higher than the US?
What about Jamaica? They have some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, but have a murder rate almost as high as Detroit.

Because American women are ugly.
Seriously though, I’ll get back to you on this one.

Your source contradicts your claim.
Are you lying, or can you just not read? Why would you produce a source that proves you are wrong?
You must be stoned.
You are dead set a fucking retard. Unbelievable.

So you don’t think it wouldn’t have anything to do with American women packing heat and being able to defend themselves.

Is that your reply when your own sources prove you wrong?
How do you argue against the numbers?
How does being able to read and understand tables make me a retard?
How is going from 6.8 murders per 100K to 5.9/100K holding steady over 10 years?

In 91 the total peaked at 2,652 then began a decline 1,477 in 96 bottoming out at 1,217 in 99 then staying in the 1200-1400 range since.
From 99-07 4 million people were added to the population so evn though the total has gone up the rate has gone down.

If you look at the murders per 100K, it is down to 5.9/100K in 2007 from 6.8/100K in 1998.
