Quote: Personally I think 2/3rds of gun related deaths being suicides
More like half. But, of course, the same could be true of the other countries named as well.
And that still fails to account for the fact that blowing a hole in your head is a very effective way to kill yourself.
Quote:What were the rates before and after the countries in question "took the guns away"
You know, I can't find the phrase "took the guns away" anywhere in that article and I even used the search feature. I'll try again later when I've got more time.
But, somehow I keep getting the hint that you think the Hollywood version of everyone in early America walking around with guns on their hip is accurate. It isn't. Frankly, the Old West was a lot less violent than the New West.
This whole gun myth is similar to the xtian bullshit of how the country was founded on xtian values. It wasn't. Unlike guns - I don't even know what xtian values are.
