They do.

I was told this is impossible. Why don't they just get them illegally?

Why is gun crime low in South Korea?

http://www.gunpolicy.org/firearms/region/south-korea

It is not. The homicide rate is nearly 5 times higher than Vermont.

If there is any other difference it must be something besides guns. Any suggestions?

Wrong again!!

From your link:

In South Korea, annual firearm homicides total 2006: 14⁸

Rate of Gun Homicide per 100,000 People

In South Korea, the annual rate of firearm homicide per 100,000 population is

2006: 0.0⁸

1994: 0.04¹²

According to your link, the homicide rate in South Korea in 2006 per 100,000 people is 0.0.

The homicide rate in Vermont for the same year of 2006 per 100,000 people is 1.9.

I thought concealed carry in Illinois started at the beginning of this month. http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/24768983-418/illinois-concealed-carry-gun-applications-accepted-started-sunday.html

A totally false statement as the permit approval process just started this month. And you accused me of making statements without proof? I'll be waiting for your detailed reply with supporting links.

It did.

Yeah, Whoopsie!! At least he's consistent!!

You shouldn't dispute Gary's statistics - since he's got more than enough time on his hands to research the topic. Most VJers only have evenings, weekends and a few minutes during their downtime.

Still waiting on that link Gary.

White only commit 25 % OF the crime, but are over 70 of the population.. Amazing

65% of rape committed by Whites and 33% by blacks. Blacks are only about 13% of the population but commit 33% of rapes.

Don't know where you get your facts but you are flat wrong.

However, Huffington says that rapes are grossly underreported by the FBI.

Rape has been widely underreported in America, according to a new panel study by the National Research Council.

After comparing several official methods for counting rape and sexual assault, the panel discovered major inconsistencies in national data.

The focal point of the study was the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) -- an annual crime report conducted through household surveys by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics -- which counted 188,380 victims of rape and sexual assault in 2010. Another data source, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, counted nearly 1.3 million incidents that same year. Data from the FBI, which gathers its statistics on rape or attempted rape reported as a crime by local law enforcement, counted only 85,593 in 2010.

If you are saying 65% of rapes are done by white men, this means approximately 845,000 rapes were committed by white men. This does not even include the rapes that go unreported.

Just because you have larger numbers doesn't make it right.

You believe it is okay because you are still the majority here based off of your numbers. That's even worse because you are covering more grounds. You are raping nearly a whole racial group. White males are truly raping over a million, women, men and children a year.

Whatever the totals you think are correct, black men represent about 7 % of the population but account for about 35% of reported rapes.It's not a "white owned" category as you suggested. That is a myth.

You are waiting for a sensible post from the man who claims he has no morals and yet feels free to opine on every moral subject under the sun? Good luck with that.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Well he has plenty of time on his hands so I wouldn't have thought you'd be waiting too long.

Of course. Over 845,000 rapes a year is not a big problem. Only a little one. Sorry, my bad.
