1. Gun permits should include a clause
Dovy ,   B.B.   (12.27.12)
that there may not be any mentally handicapped members in the family and must be reevaluated every few years.
2. Is the US 100X more dangerous than
Nora Tel Aviv   (12.28.12)
any other country in Europe ? Why in earth, the right of armed sef-defense in the US does not lower armed crimes to the 1:100th of those in Europe ? Who has the logical answer ?
3. As there are more guns than people...
Robert ,   Australia   (12.28.12)
...in the US this map is superfluous.
4. guns per capita
sweeter ,   far away   (12.28.12)
there the usa is a world leader at 88.8 per 100 resident (source WHO 2007). switzerland is 45.7, saudi arabia 35, israel 7.3, tunisia less than 0.1. however the world leader for firearm death rates are el salvador 50 per100000, p.a., closely followed by jamaica at 47, the usa is at 10.2, israel at 1.86 and chile at the lowest at 0.06. all of which indicates to me a most marked restraint concerning the average us citizen when compared to the world in general.
