> There are no killings in cities

I mean yeah if you ignore all the people shooting up malls, attacking people with machetes, driving trucks into crowds etc, Germany's a really peaceful place.

That is just not true. Look at the numbers, and not on your feeling you get from the news. For I stance start with the number of bullets fired by police!

The statement was "There are no killings in cities", which is clearly not true - there ARE killings in cities. There are probably less overall than in America, but I really don't care enough to check.

"Probably"! The gun death rate is just over 10x higher in the US per capita (10/100000) v (1/100000), it's a massive difference.

Ok? Cool?

If you can be bothered to go back and re-read my last comment, you'll notice I never once mentioned guns or even expressed a passing interest in comparing gun death rates.

You literally said, "if you ignore people shooting up malls" in the context of Germany being peaceful.

Yeah it is.

Why the heck do i have to read such stupid comment @hn? Do you really mean this or did you just use it as a troll counter argument?
