No, it was a fair, if explosive, question.

We have our say, listen to the others and then go on.

It's interesting that while the US is noted for the violence, they're statistics put us at number 24 in the world. Granted, many of the other countries have other reasons for the killings, but interesting none-the-less. The murders were not listed by particular weapon type or means.


Just posting for the interest here, on the same site I found Murders with firearms (per capita) (Latest available) by country :-
http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/c...arms-per-capita

UK goes up from 46th to 32nd and the US goes up from 24th to 8th.

Australia got a promotion too.

Did you notice that the first Islamic country was #30.

Is that a lack of data or a lot more knives and RPGs?

I didn't see that category, FP. Thanks. That's what I had really wanted to find.

Hmmmm ... I wonder who does lead in murders by RPGs?

I have found that tools serve to amplify the intent of the individual using them.

WI, Moon Watcher was the apeman at the beginning of 2001 a space odyssey, you remember the scene of the bashing of the bones.
