Since Laz wimped out, anyone else want to compare Toronto's crime rate to a comparable American city?

What data do you have that supports your fear that all of your fellow nzers would go insane if allowed to have freedom? How do you force yourself to go out in public around these people or share the road with them? Oh wait.... you yourself are armed to the teeth... which brings up the question...

What makes you so special? Why should you have a gun and not your neighbor... judging on your attitude as expressed in these threads... You are the last person I want to be armed.

I think you don't really care about freedoms in countries outside your own. I think the real reason for your stance is because you can't stand the fact that people can live normal lives
without the need to tool-up for protection, because that exspsoses your own fears and insecurities.

Your concern for my neighbors is touching, but they do have firearms. As farmers they do have a need for them.

excel.. It was not I that claimed a low crime rate. It was the original poster who claimed that nz's crime rate was down despite not haveing any guns at all... then... it turns out that nz has about the highest overall crime rate in the world and all this with basicly a rural community/country that typicaly would have a very low crime rate.

Thjen... you claim that everyone would go nuts if they had firearms but that you and all your neighbors have guns because "they need em" but but apparently only those out in the country need em or... people who live in the country are exempted from your firearms turn people into nuts theory?

gixer.. no. I have never been in any military.

torque... I have no idea of what torontos crime rate is nor do I have enough data to compare it to U.S. cities to find a "comparable" city.

I have been to both seattle and vancouver and they appear to be pretty comparable. They are even pretty close to each other and both have the same depressing weather.

What parameters would you use for comparing an American city to toronto?
