pvn,

As usual, it should be noted that my opinion comes off as overstated because I'm forced to argue psuedo devil's advocate positions here. I don't think gun control is good a priori. I think liberals in this country make far too big an issue of gun control and go too far in their crusade against guns. It lets them sleep better at night.

Let it be noted that I am not in favor of stricter gun control, I don't think it will change anything - by now I think any hypothetical problem with guns would be a cultural one and not a legal one.

I was merely trying to address that if we pick up the interpol charts it would seem the US is the first world nation in the world where people tend to shoot and point guns at eachother the most - and these are crime statistics, not justifiable homicide statistics and similar, but yet on anything else it seems to compare well.
