heavygunner8,
With all due respect, you misspelled Fascists Leftists [liberal]. In reality, the contemporary left is actually as far right is it gets.
Lets explain this using leftists logic. There are NO woolly mammoths in the US, there are no reported deaths by woolly mammoth, therefore, there are no deaths in the US.
The leftists like to factor in suicide by firearm to inflate the murder statistics. They will not tell you that the US suicide rate is on par with gun free, free socialized healthcare Europe and falls behind gun free Japan which falls behind gun free S Korea.
Yea, no one seems to question that the attack in Paris was carried out with sticks and rocks since the French gun control laws successfully prohibit the possession of full auto weapons and bombs. The antigun laws in Britain have driven the crime rate so high, the gov is trying to outlaw knives from what I hear. I read somewhere that if a GB homeowner hits a home invader with a cricket bat, he/she could face more prison time than the invader but do not know if that's accurate. Maybe someone can clarify this.
Do some reading in the FBI statistics. From what I can tell, if we eliminate the top 10 or 15 Democratically created high crime areas in these US, we move to the top ten list of safest countries. Look at the Golden star of Democratic achievement in social reform and gun control, Chicago, then look at Houston that stops short of having gun vending machines on street corners. The demographics of the two are similar yet Houston's murder rate is a fraction of Chicago if I remember correctly. If it's complete safety you want, I recall the streets of Moscow during the Soviet era being among the safest in the world. I suppose there were people even then, as the left now believes, that the bars in the window and the armed [prison] guard outside the door are there to keep them safe.
I hope you realize I'm not advocating for gun control. Believe it or not, China is actually one of the safest countries in the world. You can be a 5' tall 95 pound female and safely walk down a major city street at 3 am in the morning. Not saying there is no crime, but the likelihood of you getting raped, robbed, murder is extremely low. You won't hear about that in western media, because that would make our enemy look good. Having lived in China for the first half of my life, I know real life experience backs up that statistic. China also has strict gun laws and a culture where guns are seen as something untouchable. China also has many crimes where the punishment is extremely severe (death). The culture there, over the centuries, has made people more docile. Modern day China is also only communist in name, when they're anything but. So in that kind of cultural and political atmosphere, their gun control law works. I think in a more free society like Europe, America, or the west in general, guns in civilian hands are required to maintain a low crime rate. So what I'm trying to say is, gun control needs to fit a culture and political atmosphere for it to reduce overall crime. Gun control works for some countries (China) but not all (ie, the USA, UK, ...etc). And also the fact guns are part of American culture and has been for over 2 centuries. They're also everywhere in America. So gun control here would be a laughable solution.
