All of those countries have much stricter gun control than the America. Australia enacted strict gun control and a national buyback program after a 1996 school shooting: https://www.vox.com/2015/8/27/9212725/australia-buyback

You're comparing us to very poor countries with ineffective law enforcement/governments. How about Europe, Japan, Canada, Australia, etc?

I'm looking at the numbers. Murder won't be eliminated if all guns were confiscated. However, it would be greatly reduced.

I'll take my chances against somebody with a machete over somebody with an AR-15. You can equate a gun with a machete, a car, homemade bomb, etc. However, the truth is most people kill others with guns. When gun access is limited homicides go down.

A violent person who owns a gun is more likely to kill somebody than a violent person who has trouble obtaining a gun.

Why do you think we are more violent? Maybe, because almost anybody can walk into a gun retailer and buy a gun.

Except that there's plenty of data that shows the harder it is to legally obtain guns, the less shootings there are. The countries with the strictest gun laws have the least amount of gun crimes. They also have the lowest homicide rates. Go figure...

The maximum tax rate in PR is 4%. Possibly 0%. If you save your money (so you don't have a ton of deductions) you can be saving over 30% of your income by moving there. If you plan on staying there for a decade and reinvest those returns it can be a substantial sum. At least with PR you can keep...

If the Biden administration does nothing else, I hope they get rid of assault weapons. The numbers don't lie. Enough is enough. If they don't act then one of these incidents will likely come to a town near you in the near future.

Mass shooters have motives across the board. Some are white nationalists, some are Islamic extremists, some just want to watch the world burn, etc. These lone wolf mass shootings happen no where else in the world at the rate of the US, because the rest of the world doesn't legally allow people...

Isn't the limit only to $100k before you have to start paying tax? Probably better off in Puerto Rico.

Trump won campaigning on banning Syrians from the country "until we figure out what the hell is going on".

I think you lost this one. Though I'm sure Fox News is covering this radical Islamic terrorist and the thugs in Miami Beach more than the dude who simply had a bad day in Atlanta.

Black people need to understand that much of the racism that exists today has been amplified by the enormously large per capita crime rates in black community. What white people need to understand is that the crime rates in the black community have been exacerbated by centuries of oppression and...

Thanks. It's close, but on a per capita basis I guess it isn't. Asians, particularly poor Asians tend to live in urban areas, much like black people. I'm surprised Asian on Asian crime is way lower than white on white or black on black crime though.

I actually asked you for data. Where is it?

In the shooter's defense, he had a bad day.

Do you have data on this? I know that the vast majority of violent crimes are intraracial for both blacks and whites.

Some of the most racist people I know personally are actually Asian immigrants (it's not so much a problem with 2nd generation on). However, the majority of the Asian population came here relatively recently. Lighter skin is considered purer in many of their cultures. Unlike the West, their...

Probably didn't even vote. Definitely doesn't represent black Biden supporters or black people as a whole. Though I see Tony Stark post and it makes me think, we all know what that particular black criminal is, but we can't say it... (Chris Rock would)
