Lying sure is fun!  Unfortunately, claiming that the US has more gun-related homicides than the total homocide rate in Mexico (which bans guns!) just makes you look retarded.

I wonder where the nation neighboring ours with a very large border to us manages to find the guns they use in their criminal enterprises! Such are the mysteries of life!

While I generally am anti-gun... and think too many people in the US fetishise them... I don't think the solution to a higher homicide rate is to ban guns... if someone wants a gun, they can get them.

You're right, of course. I'm personally quite opposed to guns, but blanket bans are silly overreactions. There are certainly, however, plenty of places for sensible restrictions, which for some ridiculous reason the gun lobby still opposes. Restrictions on clip size, waiting periods, registration, serial number imprints, more rigorous background checks, closing gun show loopholes, etc. None of these things take away gun ownership and encourage selling of guns to much more responsible individuals.
