Quote:Guess I'll break it down,


Switzerland has very pro-private ownership gun laws the population is heavily armed and trained. Australia has very anti-private ownership gun laws the population is vastly disarmed. Both countries have less gun crimes then America. Since they have essentially opposite approach to gun legislation yet yield nearly the same results it stands to reason there is much more to the story.


Basically repeating Australia proves less guns = less gun crime is [BAD WORD REMOVED] and Switzerland proves it.

Well, yes. Most problems we face are more complex than a single variable.


For instance, I believe Switzerland is a very homogenous society. Where as Australia is more heterogeneous, like America... I could be wrong, but that's just my impressions of those two societies. . I also think Switzerland had alot more social welfare for citizens, whereas Australia is more in line with our austerity approach to society...


I'm away from my computer, so I can't fact check this... But if my theory is correct, it would then seem that Australia's approach would work better for the US than Switzerland's.
