I don't think you understand the purpose of the 2nd amendment. Your country was invaded and dominated by a foreign military and your people were defenseless, this is what Americans are not willing to have happen to them by foreign government or their own.

This, and also countries with tighter gun laws are usually more oppressed by their own government.

Its a racial crime issue. Murders aren't any higher for white, asian, islander, arab, etc Americans than for the same ethnic groups in other countries. Black, hispanic, african, indigenous, etc Americans have vastly higher murder rates, similar to the rates of their ethnic groups in other countries.

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10849238/#:~:text=The%20social%20burden%20of%20lethal,at%20which%20a%20person%20dies.
The non hispanic white murder rate in the US is estimated to be about 3.3 offenders per 100,000. Contrast black americans at 33.6, and 6.9 for hispanics and 12.9 indigenous but only 1.7 asian / islander.

The orders of magitude are comparable to same ethnic groups in other countries. The white european countries averaged 2 or less per 100k at least before mass migration. Mexico is 19.3 and other south american countries range 6 to 26 or so, other than El Salvador being a sanctuary thanks to its magical crime crackdown (1.9 per 100k). And subsaharan africa is the same picture, hell south africa has 40+ per 100k. And of course in China its 0.44, japan is 0.3, korea is 0.5

Does this explain the phenomenon better or worse than the access to firearms? I don't see switzerland having a crime epidemic

Racist!

Democrats don't understand that gun control starts with two hands.

Is there a correlation between gun ownership and homicides?

Please give examples of countries as free as the USA who have restrictive gun laws.

We need to ban all cars since deaths related to cars greatly outnumber guns. It's the cars fault not the person driving it

You're on to something and we agree. Guns, much like a vehicle should be a privilege and not a right, there should be scrutinized testing to gain ownership with licencing and registration requirements. Special licencing for certain model, etc. Perfect.

100% agree. Also 100% agree we should work on reducing these deadly instruments via an increased investment In public transit to reduce congestion in our incredibly poor designed cities.

It's good to see common ground here.

Glad we can find common ground. Also end the trucking industry once the rail system improves. No reason why giant death machines drive on roads with normal people. Sadly no politician will go against unions that protect out dated ways that hold the country back.
