Well, blastingas10 just posted a story about a guy who attacked a whole bunch of kids at a school in China but luckily none of them were killed because he only had a knife instead of a gun. I'd imagine a similar situation would have unfolded with this guy in Connecticut if his only weapon had been a knife as well. I don't think anyone believes stricter gun laws will make people less violent per se, just that it will make it harder for them to kill each other.

Russia has disproven that.

How so? Do you think the murder rate in Russia would go down if more guns were added to the equation?

No, but it just proves that guns don't equal high homicide rates.

Not really. For all we know Russia's murder rate would be fifty times higher if they had as many guns per capita as the US.

Probably would. Russians are crazy. They have nothing to do but enjoy really gloomy weather and drink vodka. That probably gets boring after a while.
