No, I'm saying population doesn't have anything to do with it.
So, in a post saying it's probably about population size, and I say it's not about population, you then say I don't understand that culture has an impact?
Yes, living closer together changes things. However there's not correlation between larger or more dense cities and crime. Simple as .
And it's not just about "20,000 laws on the books", it's far, far more complicated than just gun laws. It's about the whole of society. It's about people saying "in America everyone can make it", it's about slavery and segregation and the lack of civil rights, it's about racism, it's about the electoral system, the two party politics.
Mostly, to sum it up, it's about politics in the US that is a joke. It's not about running the country, it's about people making money out of politics.
The more sensible countries have a better and fairer electoral system. Proportional Representation instead of "we're like a dodgy and corrupt African dictatorship".
