In other words, if people in the US didn't have guns there would be more murders with knives, clubs etc. The implication of this is that the US culture is more oriented to murders and violence than other Western countries. This is a generality which seems to me to be absurd. Could it be that the iresposible few in the US are more iresponsible than the equivalent in the Europe? If so why? Mike Williams
