Rob,
Here in the U.S., we are forced to register guns also. The legal age for buying a rifle is 18, and a pistol is 21... at least in my state. In order to purchase a gun, you now have to go through background checks, etc. This is a forum of gun control.
You're stating that you know for a fact regarding the number of firearms legally owned, and I'm not doubting you, but let's see some proof to back that up.

There are other places in teh world where crime isn't as high as in the US and alot of those places have gun control. Forgive me for thinking it might help...

Forgive me for thinking it might help?... now that's a childish remark. You need to be open to both sides of the story, just like you requested of others participating in this arguement. It seems like many valid points have been brought up in this post. Gun control is an issue that most people will never see eye-to-eye on. I think a lot of it has to do with your background, how you were raised, etc.
