funny how the left ignores facts even from organizations they worship like the UN when the facts weaken their argument.

We got a news paper here in the US, who thought it would be cute to post a map of all the registered gun owners.

I am sure right now, some criminals are using it as a guide to know who not to rob. It's must be nice having a map to every home that does not have a registered gun on the premises.

lol

I do not see a UN link. I see one to a web page on a web site I have never heard of.

Here's a link to the United Nations for homicide rates around the world: http://data.un.org/Data.aspx?d=UNODC&f=tableCode:1

I sorted for just the US and Great Britain, and got this result:

You can find the United Nations Excel table for robberies here: http://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/statistics/crime/CTS12_Robbery.xls

Here are the numbers for the US and Great Britian. Click on all three to enlarge them:

So what can we conclude from the opening post and the actual United Nations figures?

We see that the US has, by far, a higher homicide rate than the UK.

We see that England and Wales used to have higher robbery rates than the US prior to 2007, but that the gap closed in 2008 and 2009, and then widened again in 2010, but not as wide as in the past.

We can also see that Ireland and Scotland have much lower robbery rates than the US.

What we can conclude from this is that the person who wrote the OP was very carefully cherry picking crime data out of all the world's crime data in an attempt to prove a much wider proposition that cannot be supported by such a narrow frame.

Just got to deflect, can't stay on topic. But since you bring up the homicide rate, If you discount the gang violence we are pretty much on par with other developed nations. So where is the problem really. can you say our inner cities where gun laws are the strictest?

Hey NumbNuts! I hate to be the one to have to break the news to you but Great Britain has a total gun ban and all anyone in this country wants is the end of military style semi automatic weapons with extended magazine capacity in the hands of a bunch of idiots like bible thumping Republicans.

As I said, a very careful cherry picking of crime date out of all possible crime data for the entire planet to support an erroneous conclusion.

Based on the recent discussions in other topics about publicly revealing the names of registered gun owners and the implications for home invasions, and the fact you chose to post this in the same Politics section as the umpteen other gun/home invasion topics, your agenda was pretty obvious.

Your implication is not supported by your extremely narrow framing of criminal activity.

And when the topic is actually about guns, to exclude the homicide rate is more than disingenuous.

What is the murder rate per capita in GB compared to the US?

I posted that in my post with the UN data, and clearly stated so.

See post #8.

The homicide rate in the US is nearly triple that of the UK.

Another reason why comparing "home invasion" rates is seriously flawed is that not every nation, and not every state, has a "home invasion" robbery sub-category. And what qualifies as a "home invasion" is going to vary from country to country, and state to state.

In some jurisdictions there is a defined crime of home invasion; in others there is no crime defined as home invasion, but events that accompany the invasion are criminal. Where it is defined, the definition and punishments vary by jurisdiction.[3] It is not a legally defined federal offense throughout the United States, but is in several states, such as Michigan,[4] Connecticut,[5] Illinois,[6] Florida,[7] Louisiana,[8] and in Las Vegas, Nevada.[9]
