That kind of thinking kills more people each year in Europe than guns do in the USA. Let that sink in. | ||

It's not an apples to apples comparison. 80%+ of deaths because of heat in Europe are 65+ years old. When you start handling that range you've to take into account that these people are going to die because of something, save a guy from heat here and that's an extra death because of cancer 4 years later. Now I'm not saying it's a thing to be ignored, but be wary of playing quick and dirty with statistics. | ||

So the stats say we need to encourage more guns and shooting deaths in the US... Maybe Europe should sell guns to the states - ideally sold in € | ||
