Re: Societal Decay - Henson Ong
and btw, homicides don't cover gun deaths. suicides are almost 2:1 vs homicides for deaths, with some accidents or unknowns thrown in for measure.
and some of the horrible countries for homicides on that list report ALL gun deaths as homicides, 0 suicides, 0 accidents, so some of the data may be a bit inaccurate from those places. |

Also, your scatter graph is gun homocides. Which by definition does not include accidental deaths or suicides. Perhaps may not even count unsolved crimes.

Turns out the incidents of violent crime increased dramatically after the Aussie gun ban, but who cares about that, eh? Australia and the United States -- where no gun-ban exists -- both experienced similar decreases in murder rates:

Re: Societal Decay - Henson Ong
There has been so much info thrown around about guns and gun violence its getting hard to tell what the hell is the truth. I've seen countries that have tons of guns with very little problems and countries like the US with a big problem. I've seen countries with tight gun control with very little problems and some that have high crimes and violence. I'd love to see a break down of those extremes looked at very closly to see why the hugh difference.

Seattle buyback epic FAIL:
Seven hundred and sixteen guns were collected at Saturday’s gun buyback program in Seattle. But officials say they are disturbed by the large number of private gun buyers the event attracted. Mayor Mike McGinn says he was shocked by what he describes as the “gaggles” of private gun buyers who showed up to tempt people away from the long lines and gift cards and offer them cash for their weapons. “We had a gun bazaar break out of the streets of Seattle outside of a gun buyback. That was just insane." |

Re: Societal Decay - Henson Ong
What bad ass semi automatic street sweeper shot guns. Who ever turned those in is a dumb ass. Wouldn't be surprised if they don't end up in some cops collection.

It's a cold day in hell because I'm posting something from Fox news. This is a emotional speech given by Mark Mattioli. His son was killed in the Sandy Hook tragedy, and I applaud his thoughts on the issue.

Out of the 27 dead in Sandy Hook school shooting how many family and friends of the victims do feel the need for better gun control?

Re: Societal Decay - Henson Ong
I think I see a problem:
Man killed mother at 14 years old, was sent to mental hospital, released at 21 and was able to buy 15 GUNS. A young man who was convicted of shooting his mother to death as a teen and sent to a mental hospital for years was still able to buy 15 guns once he was released. Chris Oberender was convicted of killing his mother in 1995 when he was 14-years-old, and he was sentenced to a mental hospital until he was 21-years-old. Now he is awaiting jail in Minnesota for buying illegal firearms since he is banned from owning guns because he is a convicted felon. |
