I love America but people like you who have probably never traveled outside the country and are so "USA #1 IN EVERYTHING BABY" that they cannot pull their heads out of their own rear ends and maybe look at systems that work in other countries really make the rest of us look bad.

No other developed country in the world has a gun violence problem like the US...not even close.

I'm the poster you quoted.  and yes I have traveled outside of the USA.  south american, canada, carribean, mexico, africa, europe.  and not to all inclusive resorts where i didn't have to interact with the locals.

I love how you pick and choose "developed countries"  Christ there are only about two dozen "developed countries" in entire world.  someone has to be at the bottom of the list.  Its not a big list  but while at the bottom of th elist in once category,  the greatest population by nearly 200 million people.  over the next closest city.    that's a shit ton of people...

there are nearly 20 countries that have a much higher firearm death rate than the USA.

In all the other developed countries,  they have regulated firearms for their entire existence. where the USA has been pretty loosey goosey with firearm regulation, we are a free country....  just like you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.  people will die kicking and screaming to keep their guns.  strict gun regulation in cities like NY chicago, DC, ect.  have done nothing.  Criminals will find a way to get their guns.  since there is no way to collect them all.

the homicide rate (firearm only) in the USA is about 12-13 per 100,000.  in the usa  there are approximately 120 guns per 100 people.
the homicide rate firearm only) in Honduras is about  66 per 100,000, but Honduras only has 10-12 guns per 100 people.

I don't walk around the US worried about being being shot...but if I lived in Honduras, I'd want to own a gun...
