Reply #78: Finally a shred of sense

[Columbia]

"There are other factors at stake than rates of gun ownership. Switzerland is a homogenous, settled, largely agrarian country that's been at peace for three hundred years and bears little resemblence to the United States as a whole. You might compare Switzerland to Iowa or Wyoming - all have high rates of gun ownership, but they lack the socio-economic conditions that permit violent crime."

This is the only rational thing I've seen you post all day. These same factors are the ones that affect the US negatively in certain parts. Guns, of which, are the very LEAST of these factors (if any at all). Either way, it does not justify the prohibition of law-abiding citizens their right to defend their home and family with the most effective tools they see fit.

On a side note, are you aware what link is related to 97% of all gun homicides commited in the United States?
