I'm interested in hearing a rebuttle for this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ted_death_rate
I'm in Poland, which has very strict gun control. You have to pass psychological exams, when applying for a license you have to give reason you want it (if it's self defense, you need a letter from the police that your life is realistictally in danger IE you are a mafia informant or something to that effect), etc. All in all it's hard as fuck. As you can see on this chart the firearm murder rate is 0.02 murders per 100000 people per year. Now remember, Poland was a battleground during WW2 as you could imagine there was quite alot of guns here over the years. Hell, they found a 500kg bomb a couple of hundred meters from my house.
In the US, the firearm murder rate is 3.7 murders per 100k people per year.
So based on this - one could arrive at the conclusion that since guns are saving lives in the states according to the gun supporters,
the US has 185x the murderers that Poland does per capita? That sounds like a *TERRIBLE* place to live.
