WB. every single one of those countries that you mentioned had "one party systems" and were ruled by dictator or the likes so comparing that to US today or any other western country isnt a valid comparison in my book.

With statistics you can prove pretty much everything you wish to prove. It is just a matter of asking the right questions or using the numbers you get in a way you wish to prove whatever you wish.

Personally I am a citizen WITH or without a gun.
Do you feel scared of your own government, then it is time to get a new one!
I live in Sweden and we DO have guncontrol and still we are I think nr8 in the list of number of guns /100k citizens a country.
I am definitely pro guncontrol though

the question is here. Is this a general talk thread or is it a politics thread
