Oh wait! Am wrong! Somehow is seem criminal who want for kill with gun still manage to get gun for kill, even in nation with control of gun. Very strange!

Oh, I have never heard the "if a policy is not 100% successful it is an utter failure" line before. What an ingenuous and novel approach, Avto.

Just seem to me like criminal who want kill is often find way. Making gun illegal is not seem to deter criminal, is not surprising when criminal break law for not have gun!

Not fair. First you hit me with a new argument and now you come up with facts.

Intentional homicide per 100,000 population per year: USA 4.7, Denmark 0.8
Gun ownership per 100 residents: USA 90, Denmark 12

So, in the land where more guns means less crime you are six times less likely to be murdered than in a country where fewer guns are in private hands. Or did I get that the wrong way round?

Is good thing Denmark and America is so similar for make direct compare of single statistic without examine differences between nation which may make increase or decrease.

I wish you stopped ambushing me with facts I am not aware of, but thankful at the same time, for you enlighten me further with every post you make. For instance, now I know that there are no illegal drugs in Denmark, therefore no illegal trade in them, or gangs or criminals associated with illegal drug trafficking. Or maybe just a teensy weensy bit on a per capita basis compared to what is happening in the land of the free.

That's the conservative "false dichotomy" that I am always banging on about. It's about the only rhetorical weapon they have.

I think it's not the only rhetorical weapon they have, and conservatives are not the only people who have and use them.

Avtomat have been to Copenhagen, and also been to Detroit Michigan and Camden New Jersey. Is like you say, Copenhagen is exactly like Detroit!

[Hermit]

Indeed. For instance, neither city makes cars.

My daughter's going to Amsterdam and Belgium on a working holiday for a month shortly. Should I make sure she packs a Kalashnikov?

A Glock would be easier to conceal, but a few grenades tucked away could make all the difference...
