Thats an interesting point that ive brought up to my Euro friends in the
past. They are constantly comparing gun related deaths where they live as
to where I live. (An example was the Seattle rave shooting). I would also
like to see a general comparison of violent crimes between there and here
to show if its guns that are the problem or is it that there are just more
violent people.

There have been numerous studies about American violence. They show it's not
really about guns themselves.

The gun deaths are extra. On easy, handy shot ...
