maybe that's because they don't have the same sections of society that commit rape robbery an murder out of all proportion of their numbers that we do...Yet what is needed most of all is God-controlled souls, and the less men are then the more they must be gun-controlled.
Robert Winthrop (May 12, 1809 – November 16, 1894), and Speaker of the House from 1838 to 1840, and later president of the Massachusetts Bible Society, explained that,
“All societies of men must be governed in some way or other. The less they may have of stringent State Government, the more they must have of individual self-government. The less they rely on public law or physical force, the more they must rely on private moral restraint. Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the Word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet. It may do for other countries and other governments to talk about the State supporting religion. Here, under our own free institutions, it is Religion which must support the State." (Speech to the Massachusetts Bible Society (1849-05-28), quoted in Robert Winthrop, Addresses and Speeches on Various Occasions, Little, Brown & Co., 1852, p. 172)

Does he mean other gun control countries like Switzerland?
What a jackass communist. If you subtract the violent crime rates per capita of the largest Democrat-controlled cities from the US numbers, the US is as safe and peaceful as Europe. It’s not the guns, it’s the DemocRats!
If gun control works and is so brilliant, why are most of these countries utter shit-holes that are so bad people do anything they can to away from them?
I have read several articles in the past by British Constable and Fellow at Cainbridge, Colin Greenwood.
He seemed to me to be one of the clearest thinkers and most effective voices against gun control.
You should not compare Britain to other countries which have lesser or greater crime. You should compare Britain before and after they passed more and more gun controls.
Before 1919, Britain had no gun controls at all except the very minor requirement that you had to purchase a stamp at the post office to buy a handgun. The stamp was issued as routine. Other wise you could buy anything you wanted, mortars, cannons, machine guns etc.
According to Greenwood, during that period, the entire country averaged less than 5 armed robberies a year. Sherlock Holmes solved more murders than were actually committed in real life.
Now after some of the most harsh gun controls in the world, crime is in many ways higher than in the U.S. Burglary of an occupied dwelling is far more common in Britain than America.
Import all our hood rats to Eurtopia and they’ll have the same crime rate.
13 does 50.
Treat black crime separately and the US is right in the middle of all those European Utopias.
But it would be racist to acknowledge it. Whitey and his 2nd Amendment must always be to blame.
Man, what mistakes I overlooked (fatigue) in my first sentence, which should read,
Quora has some good content, at least they show me some, knowing my religious and ideological category, and I thought this was a well-researched response that would be appreciated here, but not by liberals.
It is ‘easier’ to control your people if quick death is the sentence for drug trafficking, severe caning for spitting on the sidewalk, cut off appendages related to the crime they committed, public stoning and/or executions etc etc etc
This dumb question deserves a dumb answer.
“Because there are no guns”
Instead, a guy who is just stronger than you, or perhaps attackers in pairs.. they win.
You die.
My hero, John Moses Browning, invented a device that allows a little old lady with no combat experience to defend herself.
The comparison should not be "gun crime", it should be all crime.
If "gun crime" goes up, but all crime goes down, it is a win.
Another false premise is the cherry-picking of countries.
Why do they ignore Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, Russia? Lots of Mexicans, Brazilians, and Jamaicans in the U.S.
Cherry picking the countries compared, and limiting the discussion to "gun crime" is just a way to create the results desired.
Good read...
We are blowing a golden opportunity to get blacks and Mexicans to turn on their slave owning democrap, by not exploiting the fact that they will loose the right to defend themselves. Spread the truth that white democraps want to take away minority peoples guns and right to defend themselves. There is no way in hell that the Democraps could refute it as a lie....especially with Bella Pelosi comment to declare a crisis to confiscate guns!
maybe that's because they don't have the same sections of society that commit rape robbery an murder out of all proportion of their numbers that we do...How many of the citizens of the developed nations have this right protected from interference by the government?
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Leftist have difficulty grasping the intent of the 2nd Amendment so a few examples might help to correctly inform them.
A well educated Public, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Books, shall not be infringed.
A well regulated Internet being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Modems shall not be infringed.
A well regulated Carpentry being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Hammers shall not be infringed.
One word: Mexico.
Demographics control the cities, the counties, the states, the nations and basically the world.
In about 10 years the low birth rates of American Citizens will be impacted more each year with abortion, legal and illegal immigration.
How many major American cities/counties are facing severe economic disasters which are being delayed/postponed by high taxes in those areas and state and government funding from those still working and paying taxes in those areaas
When that fails, their Democrat and Rino Thugs in Congre$$ will take more tax $’s from the people in states, where workers still pay even more tons of taxes to delay the coming economic disasters in the above cities, counties and states.
