If you actually look at the statistics, the way gun 'crimes' are tallied here in the US if someone commits suicide with a gun it's part of the total, if someone gets shot accidentally it's part of the total. Take that and the fact that the population of the US is much larger than that of either Germany or the UK, and it's very easy to see why the percentages look so bad.

That said I tend to do alot of reading and, while I admit I don' t hear alot about Germany, I do tend to see alot of opinions from others un the UK talking about the overbearing gun laws in their country. Look at it this way, a gun of any type is nothing more than a tool. Like any tool it can be used for both good or bad, depending on the person holding it. Restricting it's use by everyone, and allowing it's use by only those that obtain it illegally...while not allowing those that would otherwise legally have one to do so....is just plain wrong.

Personally I look at it like this. I had an Uncle killed years ago by someone with a baseball bat. They came up from behind him and hit him in the head, killing him. He's just as dead by being hit with a ball bat as he would have been had he been shot, and the criminal is just as guilty of murder using on tool to do the job as another. So, you tell me, do we now need to make private ownership of baseball bats illegal because they can be used to kill someone? What about steak knives, rope, plastic bags, and a host of other common, everyday items that are routinely used to kill others????? Now, before you answer think about this. If someone was coming at you and/or your family with a knife, with the intent to do harm, would you rather be unarmed or would you rather have a gun in your possession to protect yourself. Just remember, those people that have been a victim of crime, and were prepared/armed to prevent it, weren't setting there thinking today is my day to be hurt or killed anymore than you do the same, they just had the foresight and right to prevent it. If anyone in the govermnent believes that they have the right to tell me I don't have the right to protect myself with a firearm or any other way I choose, then I want to see them give up their multiple, armed body guards, and walk around as unarmed and 'exposes' as they tell me I ought to. Remember, the cops will take care of them just like they are supposed to take care of everyone else....they aren't as special as they may believe.......
