Guns have been pretty much banned in Mexico. Does anyone know how that's working out for them? Do they still have any violence there?

Source? Notice that there are no central american, south american, or african countries on that list. Curiously absent. Probably just a coincidence that the US is the only country on that list with.... a diverse population.Originally posted by cankidComment -

There are approximately two million defensive gun uses (DGU's) per year by law abiding citizens. That was one of the findings in a national survey conducted by Gary Kleck, a Florida State University criminologistComment -
^^^^^ ha ha ha ... nice selective inclusion/exclusion of data ^^^^^^
Not even going to waste my time pointing out the real rate for the USA is 10, 60% which is accounted for by self inflicted injury (suicide). I assure you, these people would have killed themselves another way (i.e charcoal grill).Comment -
Most guns are not accessible anyway if a prowler comes into your home so its useless
Most people not standing in the kitch 16 hrs a day holding a fukkin rifle guarding their land
Lets ban all guns
I think UK real hard to have a gun or they are banned completelyComment -

saying guns are the cause for shooting deaths is like blaming a pencil for someones poor spellingComment -
Zimmerman killed one person.
How many African Americans die at a young age due to their heart because of bad diet/poor exercise? Banning KFC would save more lives than banning guns.Comment -
there are countless cases like the zimmerman/treyvon martin caseOriginally posted by PickWinnerAllDay
the fact that this is the only one that got big publicity is depressing
innocent people die every day because trigger happy idiots have a constitutional right to own a gunComment -

its a shame that culture has warped ur mind to such a point where u truly believe u need protection from the 1 in 10000 events (that's an everyday event remember, at least according to ur feeble mind) and where u can only provide responses filled with uninformed opinion, not fact.
R u really THAT scared EI??
Now go off and tell me how any of this doesn't matter with 2nd amendment bullshit

Even if that family had a gun you just do not know if that would of stopped anything

I agree, so many foolish people on here use the self defense excuse which is absolutely invalid
if someone decides to shoot you it takes all but a second
if you are a responsible person (since you have a gun we should assume that you are) you have your gun in a place were kids/visitors cant get to it, it is not loaded and with the safety on
if someone is determined to kill you there is no way you will have time to retrieve your gun, load it, take the safety off, arm it and shoot, you'd be dead 10 times by then
they only use for having a gun is to kill someone you dont like and claim selfdefense
the people on here will have us believe that they are so stupid as to walk with a loaded gun in their pants, in which case they are just as dumb as plaxico burressComment -

it would be cool if the cops and federal agents didn't have guns all them all the time. No need to be strapped when dealing with average people just going about there biz. So I'm kind of for disarming the guards and cops.Comment -
I will keep my gun.Comment -

Probably be more lethal if you sat on your enemy.
The guy in the photo has more Chins than a
Chinese phonebook.
Looks like his most deadly weapon is his diet.
