So I lied... one more post..
This is the table for Internation Violent Deaths...
"'Gun death' statistics are frequently cited, in the manner above, to strongly suggest that guns are the cause behind the high violent death rate in the U.S. As in the case of the Los Angeles Times article, no mention is made that over half of those violent deaths are suicides. The CNN article mentions gun homicides and gun suicides, but fails to show us the total violent death rate of other countries, not just gun deaths. For example, in Japan, where gun ownership is rare, its total suicide rate is higher than our total suicide rate. "

Violent Deaths per 100,000 people per year:
France: 22.67
United States: 18.57
Japan: 17.34
Canada: 15.64
Michael Moore could have presented some of these arguments in his "Documentary" (used in the loosest possible form), but it wouldn't have given him a slanted enough story. He wouldn't have won any awards!!
Maybe he should do a story about Canada and Japan's extremely high suicide rates.
Again, per 100,000 people:
France: 20.79
Japan: 16.72
Canada: 13.19
United States: 12.06
Aren't the Japanese and the Canadians embarrased by their unbelievably high suicide rates? Look at the French!!
Is life that bad in those countries?
Do Canadians, Japanese and the French have mental problems?
He might be able to win an award!! Let's recommend it!
