crazyboy25 said: The large amount of guns in Switzerland is not why they have such a low crime rate. They have a low crime rate because they are a stable, economically prosperous country with an excellent education system which has been industrialized for a long period of time.
you mean like America, or the countries with high crime rates and few or no guns like canada and england and australia
Switzerland has a low crime rate because the children learn respect for others from an early age, they arent letting the XboX raise their children and conscription into service provides another means of learning respect and self discipline and the guns do play a role
Quote:
The argument that more guns lead to less crime falls apart when you look at countries in Africa such as Sierra Leone, a country in which nearly everyone has access to military weapons from assault rifles to RPGs. It is estimated that 350,000 people die annually in Sierra Leone from violence alone.
I bet the majority of those that die in these nations have no access to military weapons, those that do tend to be a part of something, a large criminal gang, sometimes it's a gang of government, sometimes rebels trying to take control via the same tactics, if the UN supplied those impoverished people with arms instead of grain shipments that they are soon the be killed for then the number of oppressors would dwindle

I do not believe that military style weapons should be sold to the general public with out proper training Having served in the military, you will have the proper training
and, sometimes I play devils advocate

but you believe that a shotgun has an effective range greater than that of a military style weapon... an AR-15 is military style but it's not an f-14 or a naval destroyer, having served in the military should I be entitled to carry a nuke with me everywhere?
the devil needs no advocate, you can see as these debates go he does a fine job of speaking for himself
