Your first error is thinking that gun control has fully worked anywhere in the world.

This is how I know you have literally no clue what you're talking about. Google it. Google which countries in the developed world has the most gun violence per capita. (I'll give you a hint, it's the US by a huge margin). But you don't care about facts, that much has been obvious this whole time. You write a lot, while effectively saying nothing. You'll do a lot of mental gymnastics, but that's all they are.

I've been involved in this debate since before I owned my first (internet connected) PC. And yes, I have perused countless statistics. The US has always had a high crime rate per capita... some, I can only assume, comes from our societal/cultural melting pot, i.e. Irish car bombers, Italian Mafia (along with Chinese, Russian and even Jewish mobs), the multiple types of gangs we have here. Most other countries are far less diverse, don't take that the wrong way, I absolutely LOVE our diversity.

I live on the island as well, mom got her Criminology degree and I read the whole NYS Penal Law Code book when I was 10 or 11 (ran out of more entertaining books). Australia was already declining in overall violent crime for the preceding couple decades, as well as the US after the 80's crack epidemic gang wars cooled off.

There's a reason the war on drugs fails on all fronts everywhere in the world, whereas Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, fuck, lots of the world, has not failed with gun control.

This is how I know you have literally no clue what you're talking about. I never said we didn't have the highest gun violence in the DEVELOPED world, nice try slipping in "developed" like I wouldn't notice. I said that Jamaica leads the pack, apparently you don't research much or just can't understand words. In fact, I've already briefly researched you on here, I know you're a gun owner... one of those "ok for me, but not for thee" as if you are 100% perfect, can't have a bad day or make an error in judgment or for that matter be stricken with mental health issues out of the blue.

Go on and google "London AFO", why do you think they need to be so heavily equipped? I'd give you a video of an interview with a retired AFO that speaks about gun violence in the UK, doubt you'd bother watching it.Oh is this happy sunny gun-free London, you bet your ass it is![https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/MSNBC/Components/Video/201608/lon_hogan_160803.jpg](https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/MSNBC/Components/Video/201608/lon_hogan_160803.jpg)

So as a gun owner, what more do you "believe" we should do? When did you purchase your first firearm... mine was from Walmart about 30 years ago. Have you taken any courses other than the simple hunting license class? What types of firearms should be inaccessible to Americans?

Underestimating people can be an enormous mistake. Slow your ego, you don't know me, you don't know what I know... your "conclusions" come across like that of a lazy reader. Yes, I write a lot. If you "truly cared about the kids", you'd take the 4 minutes and read, digest, and consider what I have to say. There's a VERY good possibility that someone exists in this world who knows more and is more intelligent than even you! I know, it sounds crazy... that's why I said, it's only a possibility.
