If you remove the people who die of suicide and the ones related to drug and
gang violence the death rate for a country that has about one gun for every
person is pretty low.
In 2015, drug overdoses accounted for 52,404 U.S. deaths
Alcohol-Related Deaths: An estimated 88,000 people die from alcohol-related
causes annually.
STDs account for about 25,000 death per year.
So if we ban sex,drugs and alcohol we could save about 165,000 lives a year.

Nah, prohibition didn't work because the gangsters had all the whores selling
the alcohol to their patrons
and no one, including the police could stop them because - they had more guns
the law itself. Funny that.

There are only three possibilities: 1) Americans are inherently the most
violent people in the Western world 2) Europeans are lousy shots 3) Gun control
works

I have owned a gun for over 50 years and they have never killed anyone. My gun
sits out on my end table when I am not carrying it and it has never killed
anyone.

and others have hurt people
what's your point?
you need a gun to feel like a man? great.
i love how all the gun nuts typically wheel out shit about knives being able to
kill people so why ban guns. but it's a damn sight harder to kill 50+ people
from on high with knives.
anyway the usa can rot in hell. i'm sick of this shit hole.
