        The Aussies and Brits banned guns. So can we! Stop letting the lowest denominator set the bar! Who ARE we?

        its clear why the NRA doesn't want studies done, guns don't prevent violence

        If "Myth #2: Guns don’t kill people—people kill people" is really a myth, then why does Germany, with 30% of guns per person as the US, have only 10% of gun fatalities? Looks like the "debunking" of the "myths" is based on opinions rather than facts.

        Without reverting to your language, you can take a look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate …. Germany, 30.3 guns per 100 and 1.01 gun fatalities per 100,000, US 101.5 guns per 100 and 10.54 gun fatalities per 100,000. If guns kill people, shouldn't Germany have more fatalities?

        It's not the guns, it's the people. Look at Honduras, Venezuela and El Salvador.

        It is the guns, just look at the UK, gun control has been put in place and the number of gun murders if far lower here than in the US.

        Way to miss the mark on basically every 'myth' listed. Guns are correlated to gun-related [deaths/crimes]. NO SHIT. Just like pools are correlated to pool drownings. I don't care about gun murders, I care about all murders. If you can't argue that, then don't waste your time.
