Summary of multiple murders using guns, euro-style. Looks like the enlightened uropean gun laws don't work there either.

FYI

I guess the crimes of the Holocaust and the Communist against an unarmed people don’t count..

Interesting link on criminal mass murderers from Clayton’s site. http://www.mayhem.net/Crime/murder1.html

Good point.

I hate to talk about the elephant in the living room. New Hampshire has a lower homicide rate than the U.K. and almost every male in the Granite State has a firearm. Same in Switzerland. In New Orleans homicide rates rival Falujah.

N.H. and Switzerland are overwhelmingly White; N.O. is not. Ethnicity is a far better predictor of gun violence than rates of gun ownership.

New Orleans’ problem is that it is a lawless h*llhole and has been so for a long time.

[RKV]

Not so sure about ethnicity per se. What we do have (imo) is a drug prohibition which results in rampant crime in our inner cities, as drug selling gangs (of various races) fight over turf. We either legalize it or get the police to operate in ways we are very uncomfortable with to suppress the trade.

European hypocrits.

Hutu’s and the Tutsis.

I was in a coffee shop one time, and there was an older gentleman with a thick German accent at another table. He was reading in the paper about the Elian Gonzalez matter, which was current at the time. He was proclaiming loudly to anyone within earshot that this proved how “arrogant” Americans are. Imagine, a German calling Americans arrogant.

And I suppose Hitler proves all Germans psychopathic killers?

Managed and populated almost exclusively by bedwetting Liberals.....

Looks like the enlightened uropean gun laws don't work there either.

Plus, the "uropean" knife laws don't work either. There's been a few mass murders there by knife recently...not to mention soccer hooligans...

Prohibition is counter productive, agreed, and exacerbates the problem.

[Reaganesque]

And there’s always the number of World Wars fought on their territory. Europe-2, USA-0.

[Army Air Corps]

Bump!

Many of said politicians have ties to, shall we say, “families” (e.g. those of the organised crime variety) and much of the police force is on the take.

Just a Reminder, The Next Time A European Gets Huffy...

There is no 'next time', as this is a constantly occuring condition. One sure-fire way to deflect attention away from your own failings is to point your finger (and mouth) at someone else. Europeans excel at this.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Imagine, a German calling Americans arrogant.

It was even more galling coming from a Pepsi vice president who happened to be a female Indian immigrant. Is there anything more annoying than being lectured by an Indian immigrant about not using a "u" when spelling "color" or how to pronounce "bananna"? How long are the lines outside the Indian embassy of 'Mericans applying for Green Cards to work in India?

“almost every male in the Granite State has a firearm.”

I know one who doesn’t, but that is only because he is at college, where he is safe.
