Correct. Some people, but that's mental illness. Most people it's cultural to either be social or violent....No, guns don't jump off a table. However a person with a gun (especially men) feel a lot more empowered with guns. Those who are more of the criminal mind are more likely to use them.
It doesn't matter whether you remove black-on-black gang murders, there are such things in Europe too. But no, I doubt it. But you can go try and figure that out if you wish.
However poverty is a big thing. If you were to deal with poverty, you'd see crime drop.
Nice dodge on the black-on-black murders. Is homicide the #1 killer of black men age 15-34 in Europe too? Specifically black-on-black murder? Again, this is cultural, not genetic. There is no magic wand to fix it, but banning guns across the nation is a misguided, anti-American authoritarian "one-size fits all" "magic wand" solution to a cultural issue.
While there are correlations between poverty and crime, how does banning guns produce jobs? Self-respect? Improved civic works?
