When i was in Florida around 15 years ago i noticed a poster in a petrol station that said ; 'Pull a gun on someone =5 years. Discharge a gun at someone = 10 years, Injure/kill someone = Life', I know gun laws vary from state to state but a sentence like that would deter me from carrying a gun as like knives over here if you've got one you'll use it.
Guns are in the American DNA, every lowlife has a gun which is why the Police are so trigger happy when they catch up with a criminal 'shoot or be shot' is their policy.
My answer is too jail anyone who illegally has a gun and after a amnesty start raiding the homes/hang outs of known criminals and gang members make guns too hot to handle.
Trigger trigger trigger.....oh wrong site. Sorry Ringo:grin:

I said in western countries in my original post. That's the post you challenged. So no, my examples are not selective.

That is why I said it was selective, you have selected the 20% of the world to back up your stats, but ignored the other 80%.

Are you thick?

I made a statement about Western countries. I backed it up with stats from western countries. That is not being selective.

I didn't make any statement about other countries with very different levels of prosperity, forms of government, etc etc

I note you have not expressed any opinions yourself, just niggled away at this one point (which isn't a point, actually). Please don't waste any more of my time, just jog on
 
Not wasting anybodies time thicko, you are wasting your own time by replying. As the saying goes "you can't teach pork". Now ask mummy nicely to get you dressed for school :emoticon-0109-kiss:

Have you both forgotten the site rules?
It is not acceptable for posters to start their own arguments or continue a fight without my active participation.
Sort it out ladies.
