Few murders by firearms occur there but Finland leads the world in murders by knife. Focusing on guns overlooks the several other factors causing our rampant violence in the USA cited by President Obama in his speech to the bereaved in Connecticutt. I hope the president will proceed with his across the board approach to ending violence in America. I lived in Finland a country with very tough gun laws.
