You might note that Australia has remarkably high burglary rates. The problem noticed in my 30 page "Guns" thread is that any piece of statistics, or one isolated case, can be found in favor of or against gun control. The difficulty is in getting people to take ALL the statistics.
I'd rather be burgled than murdered. Would a lack of gun control in Australia reduce burglary rates and not see an increase in gun crime? Just your opinion, since I wouldn't trust statistics in this hypothetical situation. I'd like an explanation though.. |

There are more burglaries in Australia than shootings in America, by a lot. |

I fail to comprehend how you managed to pull that assumption from my post. In any case, the answer to your question is "no." What I am saying is that the rate of Australian burglaries is so much higher than the rate of American shootings that the latter is relatively insignificant as an argument for gun control. |

I'm pretty sure I'm neither apple nor orange, rjk. I kind of thought I was a starfruit - oddly appealing, and strangely bitter. |

If victims had guns then they would be alive.
1 person enter in theater and start shooting
other ppl grab their gun, kill him
problem solved.
But no, no one has a gun so one person can do the fuck he want.
