Nasty violent place the USA.
Not as nasty, or as violent, as the UK:
UK is violent crime capital of Europe
The United Kingdom is the violent crime capital of Europe and has
one of the
highest rates of violence in the world, worse even than America,
according to
new research.
By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
Published: 7:00AM BST 02 Jul 2009
Analysis of figures from the European Commission showed a 77 per
cent increase
in murders, robberies, assaults and sexual offences in the UK since
Labour
came to power.
The total number of violent offences recorded compared to
population is higher
than any other country in Europe, as well as America, Canada,
Australia and
South Africa.

As I say nasty violent place. Also world leader in exporting
terrorism.
A side by side comparison with automobile related deaths would be
interesting. I think there are fewer vehicles than firearms but
more deaths and injuries due to vehicles. Automobiles should be
banned because, like guns, vehicles will jump up and hurt you by
themselves. I should know, I saw the movie Christine.

Christine. Ah yes I have the video. Stephen King. And there's me
thinking it to be fiction.
Handguns have no other function but to kill people.

Funny, I thought they were to keep the other fellow with a handgun (or
whatever) from killing ME.

You can crack nuts with one or, blow them off.

Oh, and before we get on to the inevitable topic of how John Wayne won
WWII, the Russians did that.

Given what you say is true (it's not), who supplied the Russians. Did
the Russians also win the war in the Pacific? ...or doesn't that part
of the world concern your Europeon-centric world view?- Hide quoted text -

Afraid it is true, check the site and do some followups.
You won the war in the Pacifand we helped. �We had aircraft carriers
with armoured decks that were impervious to Kamakaze fighters.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Pacific_Fleet

Strangely never mentioned by Hollywood. �Which of course is why you
don't know this.
The Russians invaded Northern Japan. They are still there. �It was not
a great contribution.
But the biggest battles of WW2 were fought in Russia and the world's
biggest tank battle took place there. �Western Russia was completely
destroyed but they fought on, turned the tide and fought into the
heart of Nazi Germany, including the battle for Berlin.- Hide quoted text -
