Lawry, I'm surprised by how far down is the US.
Something good from the little funny I directed at Chris. That's the site he posted. I didn't stay long but there seemed to be plenty of information on it. The top two countries for violence I posted are accurate. Not for murders, by gun or anything else. Simply by number of violent crimes. It shook me that Britain was second behind Australia. And surprising that the US was twelfth. My golly, we may even be more peaceful than anyone realizes. But, don't bet on it.

Did you find any further information on that?

Harry had it pretty much backwards, as usual: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph-T/cri_mur_wit_fir_cap Murders with firearms (per capita) ================================== 1. South Africa 0.71 per 1000 people 2. Colombia 0.50 3. Thailand 0.31 4. Zimbabwe 0.04 5. Mexico 0.03 6. Belarus 0.03 7. Costa Rica 0.03 8. United States 0.02 ... 19. Switzerland 0.00 (*) ... 27.
