Reading this thread I believe the Europeans are correct, the American voter is not very sophisticated.

Your a perfect example of that, or don't you vote.

Been to Europe and didn't see anything there that I wanted here. I don't take much stock in what Europe thinks of us. They are the ones having Muslim problems with mass murders because they are afraid of their people owning guns. If you don't trust good citizens, then they won't trust you. Obummer is stupid because he wants us to be just like them, and he is trying to make it so. Do away with gun free zones, period.

Do away with gun free zones, period?

What does that poster think a situation of patrons of pro and college sports games were encouraged to bring their open carry handgun to the stadium?

What could possibly go wrong with that scenario?

So, you don't trust your fellow citizens to make proper choices? I bet manners would be better. Why is it with your type that always goes to the extremes? You do know that there are exceptions to every practice? How many French would have been killed if the public was allowed concealed carry? The point is, that the more guns around, the less killings. That's fact. If you want, I can provide you with stats and graphs.

Then why did you go?

"We spend billions of dollars tackling terrorism, which killed 229 Americans worldwide from 2005 through 2014, according to the State Department. In the same 10 years, including suicides, some 310,000 Americans died from guns."

I'll answer that stupid question. Because it was part of my job. Sorry if I respond harshly to stupid. I would like to blame it on the fact that I am just consuming my second cup of coffee, but that would indicate that I thought I was wrong in my attitude of my reply. Your reply to me was probably spontaneous and not thought out. Apology not needed.

I don't know where you are attempting to go with your questionable information, but you are remiss in your neglect to mention that gun related homicides is down 63% since 1993. From Pew Research.

If you are going to use totally unrelated stats to make a point, then why not add deaths by doctor - more than gun deaths, deaths by automobile - more than gun deaths, death by bludgeoning - more than gun deaths, deaths by drowning, death by poisoning, deaths by plane crash, etc.

What does the State Dept have to do with crime statistics? I believe that is more of a FBI bailiwick.

The reasoning (no logic involved here!) used is flawed but convenient.

Using that same reasoning we could be talking about the number of Americans that die from being in a hospital.

Same thought process.....same end result........WHAT?

Thank you for re-enforcing my point
