<quoted text>Thank you for your comments. There was a time early in my life when my belief in God was pure faith. Since that time I have gone beyond faith.

I know God is real. The proof is my own personal experiences. ThereÂ’s no need to share these experiences. Because nothing I can say will persuade you and others.

IÂ’m 100% sure in GodÂ’s existence.. I searched for God as a young man and found that he is not a fairy tale. But indeed God is as real as you or I. And so we are at a impasse. I canÂ’t persuade you and you canÂ’t persuade me.

So your mind is closed.

In the general case of guns, countries like switzerland have similar laws and much lower murder rates.

Apologists like Lil Ticked like to make the broader argument that other countries with guns are safe.

Which only goes to show that most americans just can't be trusted with being allowed guns.

Is that why violent crime rates are higher in the UK? Or why there is a complete gun ban in Mexico but they have the highest murder by guns than any other country?

^^ Great video thanks for that.
I love it when the truth is exposed, and it leaves no doubt.
Aside from the criminally insane who shoot up people in their defenseless vulnerable state. We can see crime is in the mega-dense packed areas and I would guess it's the troubled inner city youth behind most of that.

The interesting thing was how rifles are only used 3.4 % of the time meaning assault rifles are used even less in violent crimes and murders. This brings the question on exactly how banning them specifically would have any effect on the crimes in question and how targeting them will do anything but disarm honest Americans.

Can't you make one point without invoking a fallacy. Let's look at the "majority" track record.
When Adolf said "let's torture Jewish people to death," the majority of Germans thought that was a good idea ... and the majority of the world thought it was none of their business, until he threatened to take over the world.
During the Crusades, a majority of the people thought the church knew what it was doing. So they killed a bunch of "brown" people who were minding their own business. Now the majority of those people blame the US for these slights, go figure.
The majority of the people thought the Inquisitors knew what they were doing, which resulted in the torture and death of a lot of innocent people.
The majority of England thought the US should be under English rule. So the US fought back. Then the majority of the US thought black people were less than human and should be slaves. Once they were freed the majority of the US thought they were still less than human and thus deserved no rights. Nice track record there.
The majority of Ancient Egyptians thought the pharaohs were demi-gods, so much that they took what they said as law even though the priests and preistesses were actually pulling the strings.
The majority of the world's population thought human sacrifices were a great thing for a few thousand years.
The majority thought the Earth was flat.
The majority thought lightning was some magical power of the gods.
The majority thought you could use your hands to wipe your butt.
Not a very good track record for the majority, it's more often wrong than correct, so if you want to pull that fallacy, it actually makes your religion look like a really bad idea.

Excuse me if I go with the guy who doesn't depict the crusades as simply "killing brown people".

Notice also how these are just the Violent crimes detected in only England an Wales not the entire UK and they still out weigh Americas violent crime rates.. per capita.

Violent crime isn't the same as murder. Another creationist attempt to move the goalposts and argue a strawman.

At the end of the day the statistics about gun murders in your country are shocking. Simply shocking.

But what is more shocking is your attitude towards the damning facts of your country's murderous way of life.

Quoting your own quote doesn't make it more valid. Gun crime in the US is miles above any other country, the solution is the remove guns.

Its a pity the spoilt toddler that is the the US, won't let mommy reason take the toy away after they killed someone with it.

Perhaps the problem is that basic moral education was substituted with religious cr*p and that's what makes you folk so f*cking stupid when it comes to guns.

Bottom line is we wrote these things into law because of your country. They worked then to defeat you as the oppressor of my country. I find it slightly curious it is now your country that is the biggest supporter of disarming this country.
No I favor a assault weapons and high capacity clips ban , but not any outright bans or national registration.
I also think we need address the issue in schools as well as mental health screening from middle school on up, along with security in the schools.
The reason is simple you will never be able to remove access to all guns Christine , it is guaranteed under the second amendment.
But the fact remain also Christine , while there are les murders with guns over there , per capita violent crime is actually higher over there too.

Yes however civilisation has progressed over 300+ years, most civilisations anyway.

Does my country have any say in disarming your country? I can make my opinion known just as you can, that’s freedom for you. The difference is that in your country I do not get a vote.

So your idea of freedom is to limit the type of weapon to those who you think should be allowed to carry them – fine… How about the guy down the road with the semi automatic over the fire in his lounge and the shotgun on display in the back window of his suv who likes to drink until he’s falling over drunk every Friday night, does he not get a say in this?

You also seem to be in favour of “compulsory” screening to see if one is fit to carry a firearm, where is the freedom in that? Double standards or what?

Try looking up the definition of amendment FYI CHANGE. It’s down to the will of the people as to whether the majority of guns are removed from the public. It can never be all guns, there will always be some few (even in the UK) who consider unregistered guns to be a turn on (or big them up to their gang) but that goes into the realms of obsession and you cant legislate against that.

Quote
The manner in which America's crime rate compared to other countries of similar wealth and development depends on the nature of the crime used in the comparison.[30] Overall crime statistic comparisons are difficult to conduct, as the definition of crimes significant enough to be published in annual reports varies across countries. Thus an agency in a foreign country may include crimes in its annual reports which the United States omits.
Some countries such as Canada, however, have similar definitions of what constitutes a violent crime, and nearly all countries had the same definition of the characteristics that constitutes a homicide. Overall the total crime rate of the United States is similar to that of other highly developed countries. Some types of reported property crime in the U.S. survey as lower than in Germany or Canada, yet the homicide rate in the United States is substantially higher.

Good example. Applying Lil Ticked's creationist logic - "if we ban speeding, speeding would only be in the hands of criminals"

One to add to the creationist hall of shame I think
