(17,502 posts)We are not anything like Germany, Italy, or Belgium. Mexico and Brazil are developed countries. We aren't anything like them either. Each country has its own problems. In the US, if you aren't part of a gang and have a criminal record, your chances of being murdered are a lot less than someone who is. In Australia, most murders are home invasions, sometimes gang related.
The only reason gun control activists use those examples are to cherry pick.
Yes I do understand the difference between anecdotes and statistics, you don't seem to understand a propaganda technique called card stacking. Your statistics are simply not valid or relevant.
I didn't say shot, I believe I said a better chance of getting murdered. You might have a better chance of getting shot in the US than Mexico, but you have a better chance of getting murdered there. Big difference.
