2nd Amendment

Mexico is by far the "perfect country" to see if gun-laws work, I can't see how you actually believe that. Mexico has laws against homicide, drugs, stealing etc. but those don't do much of an impact, do they? Does that mean that anti-drug laws should be abolished? Does that warrant a legalization of murder? I think not.

And socialism has been given a real chance, look at European countries, they are filled with socialist parties, in Denmark, a socialist party is actually in charge (of course it hasn't been given a real chance in the USA, because of the immense amount of propaganda still left in the heads of middle-aged to old people).

School shootings:

Notice how USA has about as many school shootings as the rest of the world combined? Granted, Russia is far in the lead of casualties with 385 from the Beslan school shooting, but my point still stands.
Another thing "Britain" is not a country, and bear in mind that In Britain, there is right now a battle going on between the two different Irelands (and the IRA is a part of the UK), unless you were talking about "Great Britain".

Also, where do you get your statistics from? FBI.GOV says that an estimated 1,417,745 violent crimes were committed in the US in 2006, whereas the UK has fallen wildly in violent crimes from 1995 (a time where the battle between the IRA and the loyalists was a big deal) down to about 500.

Not only that, but in 2006 67.9 percent of all of the US's recorded murders was by firearm.

An addendum as well: Funfact! Did you know that the IRA (northern Ireland) gets some of it's guns by trades with criminal organizations from the US?
