Why not deal with the root of the problem, speedy: the criminals -- not inanimate objects.
"National Crime Information Center reports that nearly 200,000 guns were reported lost or stolen in 2012, according to federal data," speedy. What's your lib-retard plan for closing that "loophole", speedy? Would your lib-retard solution involve passing more laws that somehow make burglary and theft more illegal than they already are, speedy?
BTW, speedy, that Mises site kinda blows your POS argument based on cherry picked comparisons out of the water, doesn't it, speedy? You've been told before that the U.S. has a great deal more in common with Mexico than it does with Luxembourg or Japan, haven't you, speedy?

I have, and the countries in Europe are, in my opinion, more similar in more ways to the U.S. than Mexico. The Mises site is ONE person's opinion and should not be taken as the truth, any more than the second site.
I realize that you are not very bright and remember only those statements of others that you choose to remember, but I've made myself very clear in the past -- you want to reduce crime significantly you must provide people with a quality education and prepare them for entering the workforce with skills. Easily said, hard to do.
What is YOUR solution to reducing the crime rate in the U.S.? Simply dismiss any proposed solution as usual? Or do you not think we have a crime problem in the U.S.? If you will re-read my statements, I have not said whether or not I agree or disagree with any of the administration's proposals.
