PS>I'd still rather be a victim of a violent crime than of murder any day

particularly if the violent crime's an attempted burglary or a bicycle theft!

    "Assault deaths"???  I haven't run across that category.  But I am familiar 
with the "violent crime" category in which you in Britain and our compatriots 
down under both surpass the U.S.

  I'd still rather be a victim of a violent crime than of murder any day. What 
is, with a knife or fists, a violent, but often survivable assault, turns into 
a murder when guns are readily available and accepted as part of society. The 
city of Detroit alone had about 384 murders and the WHOLE of Canada had 548. 
Canada has 31.5 million people, Detroit, 893,000.  So, why is Detroit's murder 
rate 25 times higher?... what's the explanation? Why are there so many murders 
in the US? The violent crime statistics are basically similar, but why so many 
goddamned murders? There's only one explanation and it's spelled g u n.
