What a messed up country we live in.

America is a severely violent nation.  Gun advocates believe the answer is to allow everyone to carry guns, but the contrary appears to be true.  In Japan where firearms are illegal, their homicide rate due to firearms is 0.  In the US where there are few legal restrictions in owning firearms, our homicide rate is 3.2 per 100K.  In Canada, it is 0.5 per 100K.

It's safer to live in Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel.

No matter whose statistics you use, the US is violent.
