Where are the demographics of any of these countries the same as the US?
Why I started this thread was that some Americans including the presidential nominee for the republican claims that we in Europe also need guns to stop mass shotings. So it intersting that even with all the guns in USA and all those people that use them for protection a good guy with a gun stop the shooter in only a very few cases.
I also the right to carry gun is a part of your constitution and one reason is the protection against oppressive government. I can understand the history behind that and also that both American democracy and constitution have a long history. Still the right to bear arm didn't stop segragation and denying african americans to vote for almost hundred year. It didn't either stop the internment of american citizen with japanese descent during WW2. Also for example the black panther movement tried to arm themself but it only lead to that the movement became more extreme and violent that at the same both the goverment and the mayority turned against them even more.
Because everything listed on there is already a crime. Committed by criminals. They're not millions of these crimes ergo it is not the gun the cause of the problem. It is the criminal.

Demographics now eh :roll:
Any excuse to ignore the elephant in the room
Who finds crime so much easier to commit successfully given access to a gun as the graphic clearly illustrates
