Just out curiosity, how many posters in this thread would approve of Uzi lessons for their 9-year-old children?
I would not.

I agree. And IMO, it can't seriously be argued that that culture is the sole cause to which the fact that a whopping 3.1 more people per hundred thousand are intentionally killed... I believe this particular thread was addressing the unintentional killings that are arguably the collateral damage of present gun policy...

I agree. And present gun policy is a direct result of our gun culture.

Just out of curiosity, would you trust a climate hysteric with an Uzi?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Can't you keep that nonsense in the climate change thread instead of polluting other threads with it? That post contributes absolutely nothing to the discussion.

The reason Ireland has a higher homicide rate than Iceland is that we have a drugs gang problem in this country, which I have written about in a number of books. Legalise pot and our homicide rate would drop by 40-50%. But if we double our homicide rate we are still way behind the USA.
And we don't have girls killing gun instructors with Uzi's, cops shooting TV crews, and it is safe to be coloured and walk our streets.

Not addressing you now but I wonder for those who want no restrictions on abortions because of a slippery slope argument feel the same argument should be applied to guns and restrictions? How about we enforce the gun laws we already have? That is an idea. How about we talk about it on terms of what kills more people? Traffic as these things are far more people are killed by hands with guns than negligent parents. These things bring guns to light because the thousands of killings in the inner city go unnoticed. That is sad.

For s while it wasn't safe to be Catholic or protestant and walk your streets. School bus bombings were the norm in your Irish paradise.
What study have you done to back up the claim about drugs?

60% Of Canadians favor unrestricted abortions. Funny the things you miss. My guess is you know some of the 60%.
