And?
Where in that does it say anything in regards to gun ownership and a link to gun violence?

Check out this greaph which shows a strong link between suicides with guns and gun ownership levels. (and in case you were going to say... "and shows that there is little evidence that rates of homicide and suicide by means other than firearms increase where gun ownership is lower.")

It's just basic common sense isn't it? Don't give guns to more people, how is that going to make things better? "FUCK YOU MAN, I DESERVED A High Distinction ON THAT PAPER!" BANG, BANG, BANG... Having guns easily accessible means that in the heat of the moment people have the opportunity to do really stupid, deadly things.

Not having guns during heated situations means that there may be fist fights, yelling etc. but not deaths, not anything that can't be apologised for and made right. You can't make right shooting someone in the head.

“I SO HATE those that try and suggest 'If others had had guns, he could have been stopped'... because we all know to stop violence, just arm more people.

F*cktards.””

It's ok... I understand that there is a general 'The east is evil' attitude prevailing within the states at present.

“Farhad2000: I got that view by the boy who said he'd beat her if he were her sister, from the soldier who stayed nice and close to her as she walked, but the men that expressed frustration at her views and lack of veil. Any society, not just from the Middle East, any society that is so closely bound with organised religion will tend to want to remove those that fly in its face.

That's why I said what I did.

And I don't watch Fox news, I despise what I've seen of it, which is very little what with me being Australian.””
