It's in the water.

By that I mean, something is different about the people, not the guns.

Though, "Gun Culture" might have something to do with it. Because the U.S. culture in general supports the use of guns for show and because the U.S. people are afraid of the big bad Muslim amongst other things.

It's not the actual guns that kill, it's the culture, and it's uniquely american.

A gun has to be picked up...loaded...pointed at someone...then fired...

Guns are essentially 100% harmless on their own, aside from any manufacturing toxins introduced into the environment.

Something to go hmm about.

It's all culture baby...lock and load my big mac combo biatch...daddy's gonna get his freak on!!!

Yes, uniquely guns are harmless even in the hands of our children who accidentally kill each other. It's many times is our culture as in Cypress Hill's Cock The Hammer.

"Hmmm, what you talkin' `bout punk
Gimme room as I light up the boom
Cock the hammer, wave the white banner
Ever heard a gun (Glock) go `click' like a camera?

Cock the hammer!
Cock the hammer, it's time for action!
Cock the hammer!
Cock the hammer, it's time for action!"

Peace

Let's see now ... according to the 2005 statistics that I was able to find, the U.S. has a population a little under five times that of Britain. Let's round it to five for the sake of simplicity. In 2005, there were 73 gun-related homicides in Britain. So if they're handling things so much worse than we are, we should have fewer than 365, right?

But wait ... we had 12,118.

I'm a little confused as to how someone in the U.S. can say "Shame on you!" to Britain. We have more than 33 times as many gun-related homicides, shouldn't it be shame on us?

not only did you save me from having to do the research, you totally rocked that.

Yeah, so a complete gun ban is relatively unrealistic and shouldn't really be expected; states with hunting culture and households that contain a gun for protection are (i guess) one thing, but the fact that just about any idiot can relatively easily obtain an automatic or sub-automatic weapon, or that just about any impulsive, moronic yokel can obtain a concealed weapons license is pretty goddamn scary to me. why do people need these things again? ohhhhh, that's right. they don't. at all.

I'd have to say that's way off. Americans were collecting guns on a grand scale way, way before the muslim picture came about. In fact, I'd have to say there is probably NOBODY in america who bought a gun just to fight terrorists. This is because americans think terrorists will attack by sneaking around with bombs, not by shooting people with guns. I'd say you're probably just trying to make americans look bad even if it means resorting to an alternate reality.

Gun fascination is a universal sentiment, not just american. To say it's "uniquely" american is like saying left wing propaganda is uniquely canadian, when such dribble is clearly found all over the world.

isn't ANY radical propeganda dribble?....i mean if you sat through a two hour video of bush flying over the blossoming flower if iraqi democracy with a raging boner, wouldn't you think maybe it was just a weeee bit dribblish?

I'm sure if you reduced that number by the number of people who deserved what they got or had it coming to them one way or another, it would be comparable to if not a lot less than Britain's number.

Killing good...street justice good....did you read...if we had the same number of guns as Britain only 365 Americans would be dead instead of 12000.....so many less people would "deserve" to die....

have you spent much time with people of other countries???? I'm thinking probably not.....canada maybe kinda close......Europe, Asia......people would never ever contemplate owning a gun......more guns more people die...oh forgot many deserve it.

you could ban guns really easy.....you have 6 mos to turn in your guns....gov. pays you 150% face value...or more..fk we spend a gazzilion dollars in Iraq this will be pennies. If you don't and are caught with a gun you go to jail minimum 5 year sentence. End of story. Likely..no, realistic, not till big brother stops telling us we're all going to die and be fearful.

That's like saying that the 365 britains who died actually "deserved" it. And to keep with that rationale, that's like saying that Britain's gun law actually makes people less deserving of death. If you are going to try to counter my point, you should try to think about what you're saying so that you at least follow some kind of rule of logic.

lmao. read the statistics in the other gun thread. you obviously have some very skewed ideas about how the world is. also take some time to think about how many billions of dollars "shoot em up" gun movies make world wide every single year. lmao. this thread has hit a new low.

you should consider that shoot-em-up movies are generally high production value flicks that are extremely action packed and contain scenes with effects that cost millions of dollars to produce. people in other countries eat them up because few people their countries are moronic enough to aspire to blow $100 million dollars making an insignificant little movie. it's just a theatrical experience for a lot of countries who otherwise don't have much in the way of high-impact action films. just because shoot-em-up films create impressive international revenues doesn't mean everyone is grossly obsessed with gun ownership. audiences in many countries go apeshit over these films, yet also live in countries with relatively low gun ownership per capita...
