In Ireland, even the POLICE don't have guns. They have a truncheon and (as of 3 years ago) pepper spray. If they need guns they need to call in the special arms division, and they're only really in Dublin/Limerick/Cork for tackling the drug dealing families.
The only real shootings that go on are between drug dealers, but you never ever hear of a school shooting or anything ridiculous like that.0 -

i doubt it, you fools would probably end up shooting the wrong target in the dark with tear gas brewing
not to mention things happen so fast and people panic...
You fools?? I thought you were the one getting upset earlier for thinking "pro-gun" people were calling "anti-gun" people stupid???0 -

surveys are often skewed, looking at actual data relating to gun deaths is probably more apt. people lie on surveys all the time or aren't in touch with reality when answering. not to mention leading questions and a whole bunch of other things that impact research results.0 -

For my US friends that want to understand gun death rates compared to Canada.
All stats are per 100,000 people, per year. This allows for a straight forward comparison:
Murders: US 4.55 Canada 1.58
Murders by guns: US 2.97 Canada .54 (this is where I get the stat that the US gun death rate is 6x that of Canada)
Non-gun murder rate: US 1.58 Canada 1.04
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence
Population Canada 2011 33,476,688
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Canada
Population United States 2010 308,745,538
