    Eh? Are you certain you want do build your case using statistics that
seem to prove that Sweden has three times more violent crime than the USA?
And 12 crimes per 100 citizens... ? Even the NRA puts violent crime
belov 1000 per 100k citizens even in the USA.

    No offense, but statistics like this just goes to prove what Mark Twain
said about lies.
