Now come on Low....I know you have from the beginning known what it was I was getting at here...Are we in the United States gun owners, and therefore violent by nature? I don't think you can make that argument solely on the ownership of guns. Nor do I think that guns make a person violent.
I asked you after your overtly insulting screed that HK was a "more civilized" society because they weren't allowed to own a gun, if there was gun violence in HK considering the arguably most stringent gun laws in the world...So far you have danced, twisted, and hurled more insults my way, all the while avoiding that question with words like "significant" and "relatively".... The answer is yes there is... Now admittedly it is nearly non existent with HK's law fining people found in possesion HKD $100,000 and 14 years in prision for merely owning a gun, but the answer is yes it does happen....here is an example from 2006....
HK's price for this low gun crime culture is one of the highest 'police states' in the Asian world as noted here...

So you Low prefer to live in a quasi police state...Good for you...Here in America we are independent individuals. We have a right guaranteed and upheld by our highest court to own, posses a firearm. If you don't like it, don't understand it, can't stand it? Don't come, or don't live here...But if you think you are better than I because of your geographical location, and police state living, just know that even with your highly restrictive laws you still have gun violence, and many of the same crimes (non gun) that the rest of the world has, you just can't defend yourself.
So feel sorry for me sir, nah, don't shed a tear....I feel sorry for you.
