He is not that wrong, after all switzerland to have guns and they control it with ease. They even celebrate a gun festival. where children practice shooting.
New York has more people than Switzerland.
I am not saying there swiss policies will fix USA, but why not tust try! They are not even trying to fix this shitness.
New york have more people than Switzerland. but they also have 3x the money too!!
That's why we use per capita for statistics like this. It doesn't matter who has more people if you adjust for population. Now, you could argue density is the problem, but in less dense places in the US the rate is even higher, so...
Excellent mental gymnastics, color me impressed. You've almost made me think Switzerland is the USA.
Excellent nothing argument. Would you care to explain why the US couldn't have a gun culture like Switzerland if it's not due to population density or population size?
Great idea. Let's make the USA a small homogeneous group and see what happens.
