I have to ask the theoretical question:
Is the USA a Developed Country?
I have a feeling that despite the official classification of the USA as such (based on things like the economy) it may actually not be the case.
The USA has really high crime rates and the gun control is so out of control that its quite unlike other Developed countries. Does it still make sense to call the US a Developed country when so many people legally (and illegally) own firearms? Isn't this something we would instead expect to be happening in a less developed country?
Can the USA still be a developed country when things like Las Vegas where hundreds of people are killed/injured because of guns happen quite frequently?
At what point does the USA stop being a Developed country?
Please discuss. What is your definition of the Developed country and in light of the gun problems in the USA, is the USA still a Developed country?
