I suppose violent crime is more related to the culture in a society rather than its gun control laws. The U.S does have one of the highest violent crime rates in the western world - far more than Canada, Japan and Europe. I think a far more proactive way of dealing with gun crime is to change the culture.
Aw, hell, is that all there is to it? I thought you were going to propose something difficult.
"We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon... (interrupted by applause) we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."
But how is violent crime in the U.S going to be addressed? Are Americans biologically more predisposed to engage in this behaviour? No! Otherwise, as I indicated the levels of violent crime in the U.S are leaps and bounds higher than countries of like status. Even if you adjust for pop levels - so how do you tackle this problem. Or, is it not considered a problem. or is the solution just to say, if you have no guns you are a slave.
Who defines right and wrong without God? Good and evil? Please explain.
This is something that has been explained as nauseum on the religion forums, so I won't go into detail here, but there was right and wrong long before organized religion.
Well, part of your statement is right. There is no god and there is no afterlife, but there definitely IS accountability and justice.
Character, morals and caring about right and wrong have nothing to do with god.
There is no God?
