At first glance it looks like the GOP was a strong supporter of the CRA.
But wait! It was regional. The union states voted aye while the confederate states were opposed. At the time of the CRA the south was dominated by Democrats and their lack of support dilutes the percentages by a wide margin.
I said "Officially".
Is it too much that you read something carefully?
I am quite aware of regional influences within one party. Democrats in the East hate guns while the rest love them or hide their love.
You need more sources, or have you embarrassed yourself enough?
OECD Better Life Index is based on a survey hence highly subjective... Why dont you just admit you've never been to Sweden or anywhere in Western Europe for that matter?
When you repeat your debunked argument, then I will just repeat myself.
There are other forms of crime than homicide rate. Sweden has a low homicide rate, because there are few guns in Sweden. However, other forms of crime is not low.

And still OECD included it, but I guess you know better than them right

More stupidity from you. First off its not even relevant, and even if it is you don't know anything about me or the user Moth.
Actually I have been to Sweden around 4 times this year and I was recently at Skara Sommarland. You are embarrassing yourself.
Why shouldn't we have it in the US? It would make this country much more prosperous. The Nordic Model is the best example of a mixed economy thus far. Why Americans oppose it? I have no idea.
All sounds good until you look under the covers....Oslo, one of THE most expensive cities in the world is starting to have a considerable racism problem. Everything is fine I guess until "they" come calling...their social welfare system is superb.....mainly because breakfast can set you back $40 US.....suuuuurreeee.....you can pay a cook 50K a year so long as you tax said cook 40-45% of it.....the panhandling is soooo bad that they are saying they want only THEIR panhandlers back....
Amsterdam suffered the same fate...roll out the carpet and voila, you get more than you bargained for...helping some homeless is one thing....helping many who make it a "career" is quite another....just ask Portland Oregon how well that welcoming the homeless turned out....how's that working out for them...
We live in a relatively hyper-competitive market. While Norwegians live, a good many have a hard time living "well". Clean though it may be, I don't see it in my future as a permanent residence. Nor Sweden, Holland etc.....
Keep it. I'll compete back here at the dog track. Your results may vary.
Yep, I have been to France, many times. Is that the best argument you got? Why not focus on the figures I gave you?
If you have ever been to France you would know that you can't find US style poverty in France. No US style ghettos in French cities and no Appalachia or Alabama there as well. Comparing US poverty to French poverty.. Hilarious.

So you think that you can't commit a murder without a gun? Wow, what a deep argument, but it still does not change the fact that homicide rate in Sweden in 0.7 while in the US it is 4.7. Which country is safer?
And yes, not just homicide but crime in general is lower in Sweden than in the US.

Surveys are subjective and OECD didnt make a secret that the data is based on a survey.

I don't think you've been anywhere, otherwise you'd know that Sweden is probably one of the safest countries on the planet. try again.

If you have less guns, then you will have a lower homicide rate. Is that a very hard concept for you? You can kill without a gun, but it is much harder.
And I never claimed US is safer than Sweden. I just pointed out to you that homicide rate is not everything. And Sweden has seen its crime rate increase dramatically.

So if it is meaningless, why would OECD include it. In fact they didn't even include it, they gave it equal importance as homicide rate.

Pathetic. Is that everything you can do, claim you know where people on this forum has been.
And there is no way Sweden is one of the safest countries on the planet. They get crushed by for instance Japan and Singapore. I bet you wouldn't even be able to place Singapore on a map.
