More guns will only result in more gun-related violence. I've yet to hear a coherent rebuttal to this.
Sure, but despite the decline (NOT due to an increase in guns), the US still has vastly more homicides than other oecd countries, and also way more guns
It's more of a race problem them anything. African Americans are only 12.6 percent of the population but commit 50 percent of the homicides. It seems that if you remove African Americans entirely from the stats homicide would drop to near to Belgium levels. To fix the problem we need to fix city crime first.
So why are there third world African countries with lower murder rates than the US if it is all about race?
Why are you guys so reluctant to compare the United States to the rest of the world? You know there is a whole world outside of your gerrymandered congressional district.
I don't know...why do immigrants from said African countries graduate college or grad school with degrees in STEM and land good jobs in those fields, while numerous African-Americans from the inner city struggle to graduate high school?
Perhaps it's the culture of where they're raised and not the skin color.
The person you responded to is right. It's not a politically correct thing to say, but it's true. Eliminate the gang banger violence and we start to become a relatively peaceful country.
