>> Here's some stats:

So, why do you think Switzerland is on that list, given they are in the top five in per-capita gun ownership in the world? Why is Sweden on the list, considering they are tenth in the world?

If the possession of guns were the problem, does it make sense to you that these two countries would be near the top in ownership and near the bottom in killings?

rejekt will give the "stats" on how many people his beloved muslims killed last year.

Break it down into

beheaded

Stoned to death

Blown up

Sodomized--then killed

shot

dragged through the streets after being killed

Hi tejek; Re: "Last year, handguns killed ..."

Nice statistics. I doubt they're correct. But anyway, these shootings were not by a handgun.
