MI: Finns could show us the way

According to respected criminologist Frederic Lemieux of George Washington University, from 1983 to 2013, statistics show that while the United States had the highest number of guns per inhabitants (88.8 per 100) and 78 mass murders, Finland came in third with 45.3 guns per 100 inhabitants and two mass murders. So, how do we respect our current interpretation of the Second Amendment while also living peacefully? Maybe the Finns could show us the way.

And, was Finland founded upon the same First Principles as the United States?

No. Finland is 'progressive', i.e. state-supersedes-individual.

No sale.

The Finns also don't have the minority demographics that contributes to most of the crime and shootings in the USA. If you removed the minority crime statistics, the USA would be one of the lowest crime and safest countries in the world.

Any comparison between the USA and Finland crime statistics is meaningless.

You need to compare Finland to Texas for a closer comparison, also see CA, The mid west... Not the USA as a whole!!!
