| Message | Homocide rates are indicative of culture not gun ownership. Far more tragedies (accidental deaths) happen in swimming pools than with guns. The majority of real world gun deaths is criminal on criminal murder. Real world example.... Switzerland, Israel, and Finland (all with minimal gun laws) have far lower murder rates than England (which has very restrictive gun laws) Guns are simply tools, and any tool of self-defence from criminals or even a rogue government (god forbid) that I can give the citizens of Aldagar--I will. |
