Your homicide rates down there are just unbelievable, i'll never understand it. Three times the rate of Canada, 5 times the rate of Australia/NZ, wtf ya'all doing down there?

If you take out homicides by illegally owned guns, illegal immigrants, people with a criminal past, severe mental health, etc. The average legal gun owner is EXTREMLY responsible and the stats are VERY low for homicides. When you plump the good guys together with the bad guys what do you think the outcome will look like? Cherry picked stats is all it is: I sear it almost feels like Chicago is allowed to have so many homicides to keep the homicides by handgun stats high. We also have like almost 3 guns per capita. Gotta love the Freedom.

I am not referring to the weapon, just homicides in general, they all count. To your point then, why so many bad guys?

But seriously, we have more warm weather, so there is a longer shooting season. And the medical care is better, you can get shot AND not die. |

The 1st thing I would say is in general we are an aggressive society. From how we drive, interact, function, etc. I would ague being aggressive has enabled us to be world leaders and succeed. Please note that we are not allowed to talk about politics and race on this forum. I believe we would need to get into both to accurately have this discussion about homicide and why it is high in the States based on facts. We may want to just move on to another topic.

These are just two but there are many, all within a few points of each other.

I won't list the states with the highest homicide rates, but you can guess what type of gun "politics" dominate in them. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/s...ty/firearm.htm |

Lots of crazy assholes that have easy access to both legal and illegal weapons for a variety of reasons. Hence why the US is about the most violent first world western nation there is. Don’t let the old immigration scapegoat argument sway you, good ol red blooded US citizens do just fine offing each other at a high rate.

Another article of missing people brought to light by Gabby’s case. Seeing a lot of articles on missing people now. I can’t imagine how many go missing every year! |

Sadly, she didn't help matters defending him/admitting hitting him, etc, thereby muddying the situation. I think these cops do need better awareness, it's not their fault they were not equipped so some training is needed for these situations and also when dealing w those who are mentally-challenged. For example, why would they tell an obviously deranged/upset female to drive alone? Why not tell her to call someone to pick her up or meet up, if possible?
