Then why can't we? How are they doing on illegal narcotics Joe, because we can't seem to control ours in spite of the dozens of laws we have against them. Our prisons just keep getting fuller and fuller with drug offenders.
You have to understand we are not a single-culture country. One solution or policy doesn't work with every group of people. What works other places may not work here. We have a constitution. We have rights. We have liberals who side with the criminal on nearly every confrontational case in the US.
are you guys comparing gun ownership to drug addiction? Frankly, that would explain a lot. You guys do show all the signs of addicts - malignant narcissism, callous disregard for others, obsessive behavior. Hmmmmm.
I was addressing the comment that gun control can't possibly work. Except every other country that has tried it and has made it work, just fine.
Here's the problem, if guns and prisons made us safer, then why do we have the highest crime rates in the industrialized world, and not the lowest. The fact is, you can take a country like Canada which is pretty much identical to the US in every way EXCEPT that they don't allow just anyone to have guns. And low and behold, they don't have our crime rates. Now why do you think that is?
