... In the U.S......as more Americans own and carry guns, our gun crime and gun murder rates went down.....
In Germany in 2013 54 people died because of the use of guns. This grafics here shows for 2013 about 11000 homicides and 21000 suicides in the USA (32,000 all together). If the situation in the USA would be the same as in Germany then only 54*4=216 people would had died in the USA in 2013. But it died 32,000! This are 14,800% more!!!
When the mountain of this problem is here in Germany high 1 yard - then the US mountain of the problem is high 8 miles and 720 yards! You love it big, isn't it? Even if it is disastrous. ...
But what about to hear to the little US-Americans around the size of a yard? The citizens who are still not citizens? The children? Your children have the right not to have to live any longer in a realistic fear of guns and school shootings.
Suicide doesn't count toward the number since countries with extreme gun control, including Japan and many countries in Europe have higher suicide rates than the United States...so you fail on that point.
You also fail on your gun murder rate since it is a fact....a fact, that as more Americans own and carry guns our gun murder rate went down 49%....how do you explain that?
You wrongly assume that more guns = more gun deaths.... that isn't the case. Culture, not guns, leads to murder.
At the same time....Americans use their legal guns to stop rape, robbery, murder and also mass public shootings, 1.1 million times a year.....those are crimes stopped, lives saved...that you would prefer ended with rape, robbery and murder rather than innocent people being safe from their attackers.
