With the drastic increase in firearms involved violent crimes, I was just wondering if the rate of crime and resulting fatality is higher in U.S as compared to say..uh.. United Kingdom or Japan, where the firearm possession is not legalized for general public.
If anyone has access to the relevant statistics, please share with the INGO community.
There was a wise Chinese philosopher, who wondered aloud if man was born wicked or simply become wicked due to his external factors.
I suppose if one believes in the latter, he can argue the firearm makes it easier for perp to carry out his evil deeds.
However, if you are a Christian and believes in "Original Sin"", then man is hopelessly doomed the moment he was born, for he is inherently wicked and will have tendency to carry out evil deeds with or without the aid of firearms.
Makes me wonder ...
