Participant[quote=faterikcartman][quote=captcha] Hence my example of Germany, a country with a porous border and large immigration population.
[/quote]Much more homogeneous than we are. Moreover, more culturally distinct. And, importantly, a culture less inclined to violence. As your numbers indicate, less even without guns being involved. Guns are not the issue. And the current German stance on foreigners?

There are significant cultural differences within Germany. There is significant dislike for East Germans in the western part. There are Hochdeutschers (Bavaria, Saxony…) and Niederdeutschers (everyone else). There are religious groups. There is also significant immigration population and there is really no sincere effort to accept immigrants as equal.
I agree with what you said about the importance of less violent culture. Introducing a ban in an environment where guns and violence are the cornerstone of pop-culture would not help much. Still, I thing creating a cultural environment were guns are not celebrated and nicknamed and where restriction in access would be seen as natural way of preventing disturbed persons from acquisition would make everyone safer more than giving everyone a piece or two.

Participant[quote=desmond]Cap,
Instead of making things up: “And if you do have access to your weapon you are more likely to get hurt if you try to use it. If an armed robber is in your house he will run if you start yelling how you have a gun and you called the police. And the robber is more likely to shoot back if you start shooting” pure B.S.
Why not refer to the recent Arizona shootings when a legal gun carrying citizen did not use his gun and instead tackled and held the criminal shooter. The gun carrying citizen was able to make a rational decision and choose a physical takedown instead of using his gun. Again, the only person using his gun was the criminal.[/quote]
So the benefit of easy access to guns is exactly what?
