8. right to bear arms
morris ,   jerusalem   (04.03.12)
as a canadian israeli in canada we do have our share of violent acts but in comparrison to the US we are very far behind. in my opinion the right to bear arms should be dissolved how many people have to die before a constitution that was written in the 1700's can be changed to better society ? in regards to the people who encourage their rights to carry weapons i wonder how they would feel if their child was targeted by a crazy lunatic yielding a gun that he lawfully purchased from walmart
9. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.03.12)
The United States also has the largest population of any country in the Western world. Think that MIGHT have something to do with it? The U.S. has a population of 312,000,000. Canada has a population of 34,000,000. Duh.
10. They totally misesed the guy who shot up the restaurant
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (04.03.12)
and killed 5 other people today. Loons come in all shapes and sizes. If they aren't using a machete...wielding an axe...or a butcher knife....then they can use a gun just as well...or in Israels case with nutty Arabs...a bomb. That includes the United States as well. They can outlaw bombs....but they will just keep making more and using them to kill. Guns as well. I'd be a little more worried about the nukes myself. Gang violence perpetuates most of the shootings in the United States. Psychiatric patients have there fair share as well. People intent on murder...will find a way and a weapon to do the job. Even if it is with a battery operated drill... or rip saw.
11. To #9 and #6
#9   (04.03.12)
Sarah, the USA has 5 percent of the world's population, but it has close to 25 percent of the world's prisoners. approx 700 per 100,000 are incarcerated, followed by a far second, Russia with approx 600 per 100,000. There is your context of population. It has by far the greatest proportion of its citizens in prison. Learn to read the figures properly - duh so, #6,what exactly are you getting at?
12. My condelences....
Mitchell Cohen ,   Gush Etzion, Israel   (04.03.12)

Michael ,   California, USA   (04.03.12)
14. Any information on why the fellow did it?
Henry from New York ,   USA   (04.03.12)
Usually good to know the reason so that people know what to look for in the future.
