I admit that even the white murder rate is higher than the other countries in your data, provided that the data represents good statistics. However, there could be other reasons that people are getting murdered in America. Maybe Americans are just plain mean
.
Bear in mind, Serobot, that if you keep pushing the Nanny State mentality, you may find that same Nanny State seizing your little Savage because "It is too dangerous."
While it is doubtful that it will go that far, both motorcycles and the presence of dangerous weapons in this world both represent the struggle between freedom and safety. Motorcycling represents both the ideals of freedom and danger in the same package. How many friends have warned you about getting killed on your bike? Guns are similar. Life with them is more dangerous, but you have a better chance to defend yourself, friends, and family against bad people, amongst other things.
The only way to secure everyone from gun violence is to get rid of them all or to make it really hard to get hold of them. Simply regulating or banning them won't do. Criminals don't give a blankety-blank what is legal or not.
But then, we can also make it really hard to get motorcycles too.
There is an old saying: "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks."
With that said, the real difference here is that bikes are more likely to hurt their owner than anyone else. The abundant presence of dangerous weapons in a society can hurt anyone.
It's not about safety. Its about liberty and the dangers you're willing to live with in order to maintain the principles and lifestyle that is valuable to you. Being forced to be defenseless is not cool.
