Do you realize how dumb you sound? You are saying that somewhere between the declaration of independance and the 2nd ammendment, the founding fathers of the USA no longer wanted the people empowered to rise up against a tyranical government.
Gun Control is Completely Useless.

The "fact" is that the USA is a fukced up, violent mess and just because you can find afew other countries that are in worse shape, does not make them "good".
You do understand the dangerous precedent inherent in that argument?
If the Second Amendment only protects the citizen's right to keep and bear a musket, then the First Amendment only protects speech shouted from a podium, written long hand, or printed on a very rudimentary printing press.
The U.S. rate is more than 20 times the rate of Australia, France, the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland), Israel, South Korea, Japan, Norway, Poland and Slovenia. The U.S. rate firearm-related deaths is closer to 10 or 16 times the rates of countries such as Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain.
Do you realize how dumb you sound? You are saying 107 other countries is "afew".
Clearly, you should spend more time in a thread about the US legal system, and less time passing down stupid comments to Canadian sportsmen.
What's with you two evil hastards, anyway? Do you really WANT us to end up like the Americans?
Dimwit:
As has been explained to you on numerous occasions, the use of "gun related" murder stats only is a perversion of the truth used by anti-liberty fascists (heh, that's fun!) to mislead the uncaring and ignorant.
One more time:
If I have available a can of gasoline and a match, a baseball bat, a length of wire, a Studebaker, some drain cleaner, a rock, a sharp stick, a pillow, a kitchen knife, a bathtub, my fists and feet, and an AR 15 rifle, and I decide to kill someone...........I would probably use the AR 15.
If I don't have an AR 15......................any of the other items will do.
And are used. In fact, fists and feet and knives are used more often than any rifle to kill in the USA.
That said, handguns are by far the weapon most often used.............and they are used more often in legal defense than offense.
So stow your bullshit.
BTW this: The U.S. rate is more than 20 times the rate of Australia, France, the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland), Israel, South Korea, Japan, Norway, Poland and Slovenia is simply unadulterated bullshit.
The murder rate in the USA is 5.35 per 100,000.
To be a murder rate 1/20th or less than the USA a country would have to have a murder rate less than 0.267 per 100,000.
Australia: .44
France: 1.35
UK: 1.2
Israel: 1.36 (and people there carry guns)
South Korea: 0.7
Japan: 0.28 (close, but no cigar)
Norway: .51
Poland: 0.67
Slovenia: 0.48

NOT ONE of the countries you list matches your claim.
I think you need to brush up on your math.
After you grow a brain.
Go shove your anti Americanism up your rear end . Canadian loser .Poor little George jealous of American exceptionalism.
Colpy, You must remember that old Heinz commercial from the 60's that ended with the tag line...
"You can't tell a Heinz pickle nuthin"
I kinda like this one
""Arguing with an idiot is like playing chess with a pigeon. It'll just knock over all the pieces, shit on the board, and strut about like it's won anyway."

Now, if you can only get Hoid and Curious Canadian agreeing with you, you'll be getting somewhere!
Nobody mentioned murder rates, Einstein.
The topic is death by guns.
Do try to work up some new material.
See?
Do everyone a favor and leave this discussion to those who have something to say about it.
You are on record as saying there is no solution, therefore you have had your little say and you can move on to other important matters.
The UK doesn't track death by guns, they only track murder convictions by gun. Do try to keep up with the material that you are using.
