He was asked about gun laws in the US. One of his answers was about the annual murder rate in New York City, which has dropped in recent years from 1200-ish to 400, making NYC the safest city per capita in the US.<br /><br />So I Googled the figures in Oz. The latest official figure I could find is from 2006-7. In that year, there were 260 murders in the entire country of which less than 16% involved guns.<br /><br />The current homicide rate in Oz is 1.2 in 100,000.<br /><br />Another interesting thing the mayor said about our two countries is that there's a significant cultural difference. The emphasis in the US is on individual rights whereas here in Oz it's on community rights. What's good for the community is good for the country.Gary Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17947146717481835071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517388058225414110.post-64084843102192572282012-07-26T20:05:27.489-04:002012-07-26T20:05:27.489-04:00Precisely... an arms race we cannot win.

Then the sick minds are always around the <br />corner. Be it guns, child molesting, or the crooks in politics, they take the route of the devil. We can't all be good. but there are many evil things that<br />make us make the wrong judgement,<br />and everyone pays for that mistake,<br />one way or another. The only Place<br />is to be in heaven with God...<br />If we know Him and Serve Him, we will be with Him, in the Land of His Heaven.
