[QUOTE="Rs50matt, post: 149701, member: 27872"] I'd just like to add that politically I'm not on the left. I don't identify myself as on the right either as I believe politicians to be the worst people on the planet. America rank 112 in murders per 100,000 but the countries and nations above them are not developed countries and they have in general high crime rates regardless of guns or not. The most interesting part of this video was when he mentioned strict gun law states like Detroit being highest gun related murders in the US. It's easy to say that gun control doesn't work because it still happens there but the arguement doesn't hold up. I may be wrong but I'm not aware of state borders. (I.e. The border between Mexico is patrolled and such) so law abiding citizens in areas like Detroit cannot defend themselves against criminals who can simply drive out of the state. Buy guns and return to Detroit armed. Yes their guns are illegal. But they were purchased legally. It won't work unless no one is able to legally buy a gun. (Please correct me if there is a state border checkpoint) Also [USER=8413]@Tgotty90[/USER] I believe Someone getting offended by an arguement like this is there way of trying to invalidate the opposing view and end the discussion :).
