Supremes Say “Yes” To Guns � John Stossel

Supremes Say “Yes” To Guns � John Stossel: "But Chicago's Mayor Daley�said that if his gun ban is struck down:

'Access to guns will destroy America faster than any other war. Take Europe. Take Japan and other countries that don't have access to guns. They don't have the amount of killings.'

They don’t. But they also have different cultures. Just look at Switzerland, where�all men are expected to keep a machine gun at home --�they have a�far lower murder rate than the United States.

Comparisons across countries aren't very helpful, because there are many reasons why crime rates differ. It's more important to look at what happens before and after bans."
