re:I believe its the highest for all the developed nations

That depends on how you define developed which may not be the right yard stick - it looks more like drugs and crime are what cause gun crime, even in England they blame the rise in gun crime on the rise in meth usage.

In fact the USA is not the worst world wide by a very wide margin - Brazil and Mexico both surpass the USA and have much tougher gun control if not out right bans in Mexico.

Developed in this case means first world. Brazil and Mexico are third world.

For someone as educated as you claim - you can't possibly believe it's the guns in honest hands that are the issue. America has a huge drug and crime problem - we have more people in jail than Russia per capita, those are the people causing the problem and they are the same ones liberals and the ACLU give a pass to with weakened crime laws and early out programs.

I think kids of cops find their father's or mother's gun and play with it. I think honest women think their husband is cheating and grab his gun. I think honest men get mad and grab a gun. I think the hunter doesn't wear bright clothes and gets shot. I think desperate people grab a gun and do desperate things. I think guns kill!

Drugs cause crime.

Yup.

Spoons cause obesity, save Rosie!!

Yup. Taping her mouth would help too.
