Currently I am thinking the two most contribution factors to gun crime are:
Urban Density
Ethnicity ratios
The higher both those figures the higher gun crime... I wish I could do a thesis about that and see if its true though :D |

I see it more like this way.
Well, first of all, you gotta blame some of it to those government representatives ( uhum bushes and republicans:toothless ) have faught their teeth in making gun sell easily in the market, something that the opossed party ( democrats ) have tried to tighten that. Eitherway, the US is a country with an avarage of 300,000 million peeps. Its the richests country in the world, with one of the best styles of living, so that means that theres alot of wasted white kidds. Believe me- and this is for what Ive seen.. personal testimony.
I have a friend who lives in this very exclusive city, bunch of rich people ( Boca Raton - For those familiar with Florida ).. well, about everybody there goes to private schools, and everything is much expensier, for the obvious reason that its a rich community. Every single kidd in there was on drugs, into illegal stuff, and a great amount of those kids had guns.. just for fun, they would go to a deserted warehouse and play with them.. not harming or anything, but doing stupid crazy stuff.. sadly enough, a great amount of those rich kidds were involved into some kind of gang groupies.. doing all sorts of bad stuff. So this leads me to believe that the problem with the US is that its easy, and accesible to obtain guns, especially those wasted trashed rich kidds.. although in the case of California, ethnicity does play some role, because of the gangs. But overall, some of the worst shootings and terrorists attacks in the US ( Columbine and Oklahoma ) were all in heavily white sectors, byt white people. |

yes and no. Oakland, CA a city not so far from me (probaly 40miles), has probaly the highest murder rate at the moment, most of the murders are all related to black gang rivaries. so theres no ethnicity ratios there, however there is urban density. another example maybe my own city, San Jose (silicon valley), CA where theres a large mixture of ethnicity, and we are also very spread out, its like one huge suburb. our murder rate is not high, i think its around 35 a year in a city of one million plus. most of those murders also have nothing to do with ethnicity but drugs/gangs and domestic violence. it is different in every city though. |

im on your wavelength.
saying easy access to guns is not related to gun murders is outrageous.
im sure a lot of these are commited by unregistered guns.......... |

shooting guns is fun!....
actually, really it's only OK. (i meant shooting at targets at gun shooting range):D
basically, a US citizen may get a gun very easily legally, and anybody can get one easily non-legally too. gun control would fail. ppl will still get guns, maybe not as easily, but maybe even more violently.
