Papa Carl Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 It's not THAT bad...http://en.wikipedia....l_homicide_rate For those of you who want to carry guns in the Philippines, please note the difference between where The Philippines and the US are in comparison to countries where citizens, and even police do not carry guns! Say Canada, Australia, New Zealand.We all know that you can make statistics say what ever you want them to say, however these numbers also do not include "Accidental deaths" from firearms! Which from other articles I have read state that there are more deaths from "accidental" discharge of firearms than from intentional. Additionally it does not state that these deaths are due to the use of firearms, however unless you think these deaths are primarily causes by machete wielding fanatics I would venture a guess that in places like the US and other "western" countries the majority are from firearms, however it would be good to find out more specifics.Still a good thread for a topic.Papa Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
