Yeah I don't understand his reply either lol. When per capita is taken into account it doesn't matter on overall population size. There's clearly 3x more armed robberies in Texas, per person, than there is in the entire country of Australia. Perhaps the causation is that seemingly anyone can just carry a gun around?
So, that's supposed to be the lowest crime rate? Our lowest crime state has 3x more crime than an entire country? How is this even an argument that guns are safer??

Its simple. You're comparing a state to a country. When you attempt to break it down per people, it skews the statistics.
Let me phrase it like this.
In the USA, Theirs WAY more people than anywhere else. Unemployment rates, poverty rates, suicide rates, gang crime rates, I mean literally everything 10 fold. You're trying to make an argument based on the simple fact that that theirs more of something, therefore its more dangerous. Its a completely stupid and invalid argument. If we have 2 rooms, and I cover 1 floor in legos, and the other I leave open. . . Then send
or
through it. . Where are you more likely to step on legos?
But does that make legos more unsafe? No its just THE difference. You're all sitting here attempting to make an argument based on fear. I guarantee you've all never shot a gun, and if you have it was grand pappys old .22. I literally own 8 firearms and carry every single day. Does this make my chances of getting shot by a gun more likely than someone whos never seen a gun? Well that depends on the place you live does it not? However myself carrying a gun statistically and literally makes me less likely to be a target and more likely to defend myself. Like how does population per place not make sense to you. You throw robberies per 100000 persons into an equation like it makes a difference and this is where @Deljikho and @n00bslayer_99 makes no sense. Those statistics I posted prove that theyre similar numbers wise. so per 100,000 people, robberies are MORE likely in the USA. correct? Ok, so how then do those numbers link to guns? Clearly, By your point and mine, Texas has higher crime rates than Australia. And youre going to tell me that this is simply explained because Texas has firearms? LOOOOOOOL. Thats hilarious.
Analogy - human 1 goes to the shooting range in the USA. They carry a gun, they're surrounded by others carrying guns.
human 2 goes to the shooting range in the France. They carry a gun, they're surrounded by others carrying guns.
Whos more likely to be shot? Thats your question? lol. Do some research on Lexington and Concord and let me know your plans to move this "Gun control" out.
