I came across this vid and thought some you might find it interesting. It is nothing that we dont already know but it is nice to see that more and more folks are realizing the issue.

He almost gets the the point.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y-adjusted_HDI is a much better answer to "why is Switzerland such a well armed and peaceful society, and Mexico such a shithole?" It's about the inequality of the population in education, income, benefits, and justice. It's not about 8.8 guns per American, or belt fed fully automatic nuclear rocket launchers in our schools.

Switzerland requires that their citizens be armed, but Mexico has stringent gun laws against any "military caliber". There's more to the story than "inequality" between the people. There's inequality between the government and the citizens.
