Well, Germany doesn't and neither do Japan, Australia, etc. So, at least
those countries should be representative. The numbers are listed in
http://www.aic.gov.au/publications/rpp/07/ch6.pdf
If the right to bear arms - especially concealed guns - is so important
to have a low crime rate, why is the rate of violent crimes so much higher
in the US than in other countries? Do you have a proven explanation for
this or can we simply drop this theme, because fire arms are in no way
transhuman or extropian, but only inappropriate tools from our barbaric
history?
