I know I am "programmed" to think something, for example this: In my country where you aren't allowed to have carry guns, we had a staggering murder rate of 0.9 for every 100K citizens. While in the US that count was 4.7 where almost everyone can own and carry a gun.

Even if the murder rate is going down, it's not exactly great. For example, Yemen, Niger, Palestine have better ratios than the US.

Don't get me wrong though, I love the US. But saying more guns will cause less murders is the stupidest thing I've heard all day today. No offence intended.

Ok that is a fair request. However I am not sure if I want to invest the time to find that info and post it. I am heading up the mountain to build a snow castle. When I get back perhaps I will look into it However you can do you own research on Australia to find out how much home invasions have increased since the guns were taken away.
