@ LoveUniHateExams, honestly I feel kinda bad for you, we all say honest and shocking things, I'm not innocent, but to make a public declaration of bigotry is pretty extreme.
New York city, and I mean the real New York city, is probably one of the most diverse places and I love it, so for you to have a bigoted view of diversity, its really just sad. For me anyway, but carry on, its your freedom.

No they don't do those things, but I guarantee you they account for much more of the murder numbers than the spectacle shootings the media has made so desirable by our cult of celebrity maniacs.
You know you guys also preach about this stuff like you know so much about crime and criminals, and you do not. I know gang members, i have family that are gang members.
America has urban problems that a dinky little country like the UK doesn't, it also has a lot of guns, out the two together and you have a problem. I am ok saying that, but you easy chair quarterbacks love to sit back and spew ideas you get from watching action movies and the "if it bleeds it leads media."
I am not whining about anything, I am saying if you are going to point out a problem why pick one? there are lots of problems with with violence here. Guns are just easy to latch onto for the weak minded as the only and #1 problem. thats all I'm saying

That me be one of the most shocking things I've heard on this site.
But I'd rather be a bigot who is alive and well than embrace American diversity and end up on a mortician's table.
wow

Simon, in america when the population is > 250,000 the violent crime & murder rate are double the national average. Now if you took the numbers and applied them to say a city of 8 million like nyc, the murder rate is high, if you focus in more, you could that one or two neighborhoods in one borough would account for the bulk of that.
Cause and effect, murder comes from a place and an environment. The fact of the matter is that the bulk of our crime in america is located in small pockets. The issue is oversimplified and not being honest does not help.
Again people love to make claims about how horrible it is we have people with AR15's here, and while I see no need myself really to have one, the fact is in an FBI stat from 2011 of deaths cause by FIREARMS, 3.5% were cause by RIFLES, AR15's fall under that. That means that even a further fraction of the 3.5%. But the image portrayed is that americans are walking around shooting everyone with assault rifles, when things like that are not true.
Blaming Guns = Easy
Blaming Social & mental health failings = much much more difficult

America has a two fold problem. I am fine saying the vast availability and as SecretSlaveClass pointed out mismanagement of fire arms correlate to GUN RELATED DEATHS. No body here dismisses that. However it is implied that
Cause and Effect. lets talk about that for a second. Baltimore was brought up because of its population. I am glad someone mentioned Baltimore, because I have a very intimate knowledge of some of the worst parts of baltimore. Its a bad bad place. I helped someone with property development in these places. You know you can buy a row house in baltimore for $2000? Why is that... I had to have dealings with people named "rock" and "speedy" with "F-ck" tattooed on one eye lid, and "you" on the other. They would have shoot outs yes in the street, like the wild west. The place was a cracked out, dead end, American failure. You bet your ass their is A LOT of gun violence there.
Now let me ask you this, cause and effect, which comes first, do the guns cause these parts of baltimore to have a crack problem and staggering crime and poverty? We can admit there is a problem with guns, but did guns cause this 1st world void? Or!!! does the crime, poverty, failing come FIRST, and the GUNS follow?
You see this is what frustrates me the canada, uk, aussie anti gun folks on here, because you do have a blind bias.
Your stance is the secondary problem to the violence is #1, and you are so focused and how little you think of those of us who live here, that is all you see. There are MANY primary problems here that could save lives, even while the secondary issue is addressed. But you all want to pick the simple and media blasted idea that the problems we have here (that decline yearly) are because OF the gun. Guns no more cause the problem than my laptop is causing me to type on this site. You are falling into the idiot trap of our own media empire that tells you This, this is the problem, while ignoring the more complicated, embarrassing pink elephants in the room.
Gun violence is highest in america in the metro areas where the gun laws happen to be the strictest. I am not sure what else you could do in New York city to make it harder to get a gun, as I stated its next to, if not, impossible for a citizen to get one with out some act of congress. And yet the kids in brownsville, east new york and other places area killing each other every day. While bubba the gun nut in bumblescum mississippi is out shooting empty propane tanks with his AR15. Ive lived here a long time, and i have been many places, for more than visits, and i am telling you, you guys are are putting a simple blanket view to a complicated issue.
why did the sacrifice have to be so brutal... i mean what value does that add to the equation of justice.couldn't he jesus have came down and just been slaughtered like a regular sacrifice without the brutal torture.why is justice served by brutalityanyone anyone bueller... lolnow you know i don't like to type for hours but this is always bothered me

Why not keep hunting rifles in the hunting states and stop giving out handguns in the shoot-each-other cities?
Go to new York City and get a handgun. Good luck. You'd have better luck convincing wtbts to change their policy. It's nearly impossbile!
Also the gun nuts don't reside in the city, Billy bob, Joe bob, and Bubba the gun nuts arent there.
The things you talk about are not based on real knowledge of America.the murders are happening in poverty stricken areas. The gun problem is there. But the violence starts there too.
You guys are so blinded by being anti gun that you refuse to acknowledge the United states issues with poverty and areas that are not like "1st world" countries but 3rd world slums.

Fact 250,000+ metropolitan areas hold the bulk murder rate. UK & US. US has statically far more 250k+ metro area. Math. Our murder rate will be higher.
Want to talk about one sided statistics? Everyone sounds the alarm on assault rifles. The evil Americans why do they need them. Well the perception is intestine because a miniscule fraction of deaths come from "rifles". A subset of that is assault rifles. I'm not advocating for them. But people twist things to make it appear we have an assault rifle problem because the talking heads on TV tell them we do.
