Does not counter what I said about how the injury & death toll & crime rate related to guns in USA is so far above the rest of the western world.

Sure in every country in the western world there are illegally possessed weapons. But the more the hard on approach against weapons goes, & the longer it lasts, the deepers such carrying of weapons disappears into the dark worlds .. usually only of organised crime groups & gangs. Not of the average criminal. 'That's the difference.'

In USA someone only needs to go the a local gunshop like a corner milkbar lol or not sure the USA term for it (candybar), to buy a weapon. lol Just a quick walk around the corner & they're suddenly armed, just like that. Potentially with weapons previously used by the USA armed services. That in itself is ridiculous.

OK forgive me. I should not be saying anything that is seen as offensive against your 'culture'. Guns are a part of your culture. And you wonder why such 'gun-like' psyche attitudes & aggressions that shows through is disliked by so many other countries in the world. Perhaps you are not aware of that though. After all you only know what the local news tells you. lol
