Really really interesthing debate about some of the reasons why the USA have some many homicides... (poverty ect...)
It's just unbelivable... Look at the numbers...
Gun deaths in a year.
Germany, 381
France, 255
Canada, 165
United Kingdom, 68
Australia, 65
Japan, 39
The United States of America, 11,127 !
Have a look at the interview or movie, I think it's an issue that affect everyone. I surely won't miss it.

Yes but the point you are missing is that they still have as many homicides per capita if not more in some countries. You can be killed without a gun easy enough. ESPECIALLY if you don't have a firearm to protect yourself with.
Sometimes the police are not available and what if your wife was home alone while a rapist is breaking in the front door with a knife in his hand. Would you want your wife to sit their cornered in her bedroom with a pair of scisors or a nice safe snub nose revolver?
Pretty much a no brainer.
Peace!
