Given the huge difference in populations, which society is sicker ?

Look at all the gun owners in the US who dont go on mass shootings.
And we have had mass shootings in NZ, and the occasional 1,2 death shootings , despite our gun restrictions.

Guns don't kill, people do.

1409298 2015-10-02 07:07:00 Guns don’t randomly shoot people, people shoot people, and if you want a gun in NZ they are easy to come by.

Take a look at the collection the police regularly confiscate from Gangs.

Regulation won’t stop the problem any more than a padlock will stop a thief.

What you’re seeing is evidence of a sick society.

1409299 2015-10-02 08:23:00 Its got a mind of its own I reckon. By that I mean there is a history of school shootings in the USA so if any kid reaches breaking point he knows what to do. prefect (6291)

That bear has always caught me out - guess I should have checked it before posting :)

In Old English,"beran" (past tense bær) means to bear, bring; bring forth, produce; to endure, sustain; to wear

And he had 7 guns in his cupboard!

Good to see the local sherrif not glorify him by mentioning his name.

1409303 2015-10-03 00:15:00 The USA has 75 times our population.
So do the maths.
45 shootings divided by 75 = less than zero.

So on a pro rata basis, we should have had zero shootings.

I would like to find out how much the gangs get done with if they are caught with illegal firearms?
How many wet bus tickets?
