America is NOT a shitty place to live. I can't quote a figure offhand, but I know that the overwhelming numbers of killings by guns here are done by people who know each other.

And, when you say "America" keep in mind that there are many Americas, and there are dangerous places, just like in England, and there are safe places just as there are in England.

In India, if you don't like your wife you set her afire. Here, we shoot her. If you had to choose, which would it be?

Just for the sake of balance, I have to admit that there are too many guns here, and if we could eliminate all of them, it would be safer for all of us. I've never heard of a "drive by stabbing."
