Absolutely true. Crime results from socioeconomic reasons (i.e. lack of wealth redistribution).
Wealth redistribution is the most hideous types of ideas I have ever heard.
For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)
Are you f****** kidding me wealth disturbition. Oh next thing I hear Crime happens cause the ***** deserved it

Being dyslexic is hard work. I don't even try anymore.
Its very clear that populations which have less access to guns have less gun deaths. We tightened our gun laws after the Port Arthur massacre and we haven't had a mass killing since. That was like 10 years ago.

Fair enough. But it's just an accident and these things, tragic as they may be, happen. The danger is that we all start painting the mother or whoever as some kind of devil where in reality we've all made similar mistakes that *could* have lead to a similar tragedy. The only difference here is bad luck .
No no no no no no no. We have not all made similar mistakes like this. If the kid had done it with a knife, or with scissors, ok; it's understandable that those things would be accessible. But -- and this is the important part -- the only purpose of a gun is to cause bodily harm. You have an object in the house whose sole purpose is to inflict injury or death, and you leave it where a 4-year-old can get it? That is NOT a mistake even remotely similar to ones "we've all made."

This is yet another cop-out. You fail to recognize that the crime rate have skyrocketed in countries that have banned guns (England).

That is complete rubbish. Crime rates are far lower across the Western world than in the US, as are incarceration rates, where the US rate of jailing people compares with the Old Soviet Union. Think about that!
In many countries like Japan violent crime with firearms is almost non existent. Why? Because of gun control.
Compare the US and Canada. They don't have the gun crime the US has.

AND YET ANOTHER BS STATEMENT. You must be following Michael Moore. Though more crimes are committed in the US this is because one thing: There are more people in this country. And secondly, the US is jailing people mainly for crimes unrelated to guns.
In Japan violent crime with knives is a huge problem. Again gun control doesn't solve ****.
You are full of cop outs. Also Canadians have a surprising amount of guns. Again gun control doesn't solve ****.

Is it possible AH is right? It's something I can't admit.
