1. When you dont know who else might have a gun, you be more cautious about using yours.

    Hell, Russia has insane gun laws, and a murder rate higher than just about anywhere else in the civilized world.

    Russia is not like the west. That country has some other serious issues. I think Russia doesn't deserve to be compared to the United States.

    And people who fire at the police are already insane enough to not be affected by your first sentence. If they had more guns they'd use more guns.

    In America, genreally the citys with the strickest gun laws have the worst gun crime.
  6. How would you explain that there are fives times more murders committed in your country compared to mine?


  7. Culture. Gun control does nothing to solve the underlying problems. See Russia.


  8. You don't think it's a mix of both? I agree that Russia proves that culture has a lot do to with it. But I don't think culture's the only reason.

    Vermont has some of the most lenient gun control laws in America, and one of the lowest crime rates.


  10. And culture's probably one of the reasons for that.


  11. By comparison, New York City has some of the strickist gun laws in the country, and I think we can agree, it isn't a particularly safe city.
