Okay, but which gives you a better chance of survival from a robber: a rifle or a pistol?

If you don't like the beliefs and ideals on which this country was founded, you don't have to live here; you can move to some country that has banned firearms- I think you'd quickly find out that crime is a bigger problem there than here.


Umm...not only was telling me to leave my own country uncalled for, the point you are trying to make is dead wrong. Other countries don't have anywhere NEAR the amount of gun related deaths or general crime as the US--even countries with comparable populations.

Please stop bringing up the 2nd Amendment. We have the right to bear arms...I GET IT. I'm trying to bring up the logic behind it all.

Say there is a country X. X has a population of around 100 million, and civilians are not allowed guns in any way, shape or form. Only X's military and police are allowed to have guns. Anyone caught with a firearm serves 20 years in prison. And people selling guns would be given life in prison (harsh, eh? Razz). Because X's goverment is so strict about guns, buying a simple .45, for instance, can cost thousands and thousands of dollars.

Would you predict that crime would be higher or lower than that of the US?

(I ask these questions not to push a point, but I really want to know what you guys think)
