European gun crime vs. U.S. Gun crime.

[2aguy]

this is the real perspective when you consider European gun crime rates,vs. U.S. Gun crime rates...

Also...since the anti-gun people only want the police and military to have,guns...this,becomes,even more,relevant...

To,accurately portray gun crime over a period of years, I computed gun crime,over a,74 year period...I thought that was only fair to get a real picture of gun crime,over time...

Did some quick figuring...

The gun grabbers only want police and military to have the guns in a society...

Germany murdered 11,000,000 people according to wiki...so from 1939-2013 that is 74 years....11 million divided by 74 = 148,648 people murderd each year in Europe. Since the Germans murderd people in all the countries under their control from 1939-1945...


(of course this doesn't add the normal murder rate numbers for those countries in Europe to the average during this 74 year time period, and the U.S. Murder rate was probably lower during this time period as we'll, not the 11,000 we have today...just to keep that in mind)

Now, if you take the average murder rate in the U.S. And multiply it by the same 74 year period...74 x 11,000 = 814,000 total for that same 74 year period...

sooo...leaving guns in the hands of only the police and military when they turn bad...

148,648 vs 11,000 a year...for Europe vs. the U.S.

so the average murder rate,per year in the U.S....11,000

For Europe...148,648

)granted, the numbers only cover those countries controlled by Germany from 1939-1945, and doesn't include all of
Europe...but come on...I can only do so much)

So that pretty much takes Europe out of the running in these comparisons...doesn't it...

and leaving guns in the hands of the police and military...really throws off those murder numbers...doesn't it...

Media Footprint

Social critics claim that American media and entertainment is filled with images glorifying crime and violence.

It is a fact that America's brand of profiteerism philosophy engenders a social deification of fortune-hunters. It's no surprise that the American Depression-era bank robbers Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow have been nearly immortalized in American fanfare.

American comic books, in particular, present daredevil avatars such as Wolverine (a wolf-like mutant anti-hero) and the Punisher (a violent avenger) who represent social fascination with violence stories.

While it's true that Europe offers extremely exaggerated romanticization folk stories of female assassins and rogue 'concubines' who aid dukes and kings in diabolical tasks, such folk stories do not compare to the marketing of American comic book avatars. For example, the rogue French female mercenary Joan of Arc is mighty to be sure, but her folklore does not compare to the symbolic celebration of the American female fantasy comic book avatar She-Hulk (a woman whose unusual strength serves as a symbol of consumerism dialogue about steroid use).

Since we're talking more about art and fantasy and not as much about history, it stands to reason then that America's crime rates are more connected to American media.

Such ideas reveal the modern demand for Hollywood (USA) movies such as "American Psycho" (2000) and the success of water-gun marketing by American toy shops.
