We don't have the Chinese mafia in Virginia. If you ever find yourself on their bad side, you are welcome to come over here and enjoy our protection. I can introduce you to some people here that came here for that exact reason. People that people you know would have heard of.

Every major population area has a level of organized crime but I'm still safer here than over there.

Where exactly is over there? Southeast DC or Boise Idaho? That made no sense. There are plenty of areas within Hong Kong where you wouldn't last five minutes.

Which areas are those? I've been all over hong kong and never came across one neighborhood where I feared for my life.

And over there was in reference to hoston texas.

Aren't you still in the US living with an Uncle until your Mom takes you home to Hong Kong?

If that's the case - I'm confused how you can say we're so evil and crime riddled, but feel safer HERE than there.

Explain please.

But you are still in California.

Like Jeboduuza said, you obviously haven't seen crime because you must be rich and sheltered. Your bubble won't last forever ducky.

Reality is that the United Stated is THE most violent nation among the western democracies. That violence is significantly less even in Mexico and Canada. In the same time that the United Stated massacred school children about 44 times, then entire rest of the world combined only saw that happen about 10 times. So common that Americans attitude to what happened in Virginia: yawn.

America is now so violent that a killer can fire every 3 second consecutively for nine minutes at students. That is now considered acceptable in America because attitudes to so much violence: yawn. Instead, Americans here would instead attack the messenger.

United States is clearly the most violent western nation. That is not even disputable where people live in reality. Furthermore it is predictable from history. As numbers of guns increase, then so does violent death. That fact has been well established throughout the world for at least 200 years.

That is pretty much what I have been saying the whole time but not as articulately. Yet I get accused of trying to prove I'm queen of the world, called a naive 16 year old, america basher etc. I even had a bashing thread started about me. lol
One thing that does surprise me about your post is you say the violence is less in mexico. The school I was going to in houston had many latinos that were from mexico and they seemed to think the violent crime was much worse there.

Swiss homes are full of assault rifles, each with a box of 200 rounds of ready ammunition, tw.

Show me the Swiss murder rate. Show me the Swiss rate of murder by firearm. Show me miscellaneous Swiss massacres by selective-fire assault rifle.

Closer to home, try Nevada, Idaho, the Dakotas: all these places have a total murder rate that looks like... England's. Let three examples stand for a couple dozen.

You aren't much of a researcher.

With every Swiss gun is massive, repetitive training. Since number of guns has not increased in Switzerland, then violent crimes do not increase. Where number of guns increase, then violent crimes increase. Charts comparing gun ownership in America compared to a following increase in violent death demonstrates a problem that is also well proven throughout the world.

Yes, the other parts of the western world regard America as a most violent nation - because they look at the numbers. In America, if someone 'disses' you, then you have the right to a gun. That attitude is now becoming more prevalent. So prevalent that American school yard massacres get a response called "Yawn".

How did Britain stop schoolyard slaughters? Everyone now carries a gun? A solution advocated by those who deny basic facts and numbers.

Meanwhile, every home in Switzerland does not have a gun. In Switzerland, those who are mentally unstable cannot have a gun. In Switzerland, everyone is carefully vetted. Urbane Guerrilla forget to mention that part. He also got to mention that many gun advocates oppose 'mental stablity' rules are contrary to the their interpretation of the Second Amendment. According to second admendment 'advocates' even the mentally unstable have a constitutional right to guns - even 155 mm howitizers.

Urbane Guerrilla forgot to mention so much. Therefore what is his poltical agenda?
