USA #1 in Gun Ownership, not in Top Ten of Nations in Gun Crime

[JimBowie1958]

This stuff is so obvious; guns cause a drop in crime.


Telegraph: U.S. Top Country for Gun Ownership, Not Even in Top 10 for Firearm Deaths - Breitbart

According to the Telegraph, the countries with highest per-capita gun ownership are:

1. USA – 112.6 guns per 100 residents
2. Serbia – 75.6
3. Yemen – 54.8
4. Switzerland – 45.7
5. Cyprus – 36.4
6. Saudi Arabia – 35
7. Iraq – 34.2
8. Uruguay – 31.8
9. Sweden – 31.6
10. Norway – 31.3

Note–the Telegraph presents gun ownership as so expansive in the U.S. that guns actually outnumber people. Yet the U.S. does not appear on the list of the Top 10 countries for firearm-related deaths. Those countries are:

1. Honduras – 67.18 per 100,000 residents per year
2. Venezuela – 59.13
3. Swaziland – 37.16
4. Guatemala – 34.1
5. Jamaica – 30.72
6. El Salvador – 26.77
7. Colombia – 25.94
8. Brazil – 21.2
9. Panama – 15.11
10. Uruguay – 11.52

The map and the accompanying Telegraph article were drawn from the Small Arms Survey and the 2012 Congressional Research Serrvice Report. As Breitbart News previously reported, the CRS report shows privately owned firearms jumped from 192 million in the U.S. in 1994 to 310 million in 2009. At the same time, the “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate–which was 6.6 per 100,000 Americans in 1993–fell to 3.6 per 100,000 by 2000. Gun sales continued to surge and the “firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide” rate fell to 3.2 in 2011.

Think about it–as gun ownership rose, the murder rate plummeted in the U.S. Couple that with the fact that only one of the Top 10 countries for gun ownership is also in the Top 10 for firearm-related deaths–Uruguay is number eight for gun ownership number 10 for gun deaths–and the point is clear: More guns correlate with less crime.

If you take out the fake and staged mass shootings like the Sandy Hook hoax, Charleston, Aurora, etc, etc.....deaths go down even more.

Congrats, your claim is likewise a logical fallacy, namely Argumentum ad Populum, you can also add these other logical fallacies to your list of boo boo's....

Appeal to Emotion
Argument from Adverse Consequences
Circular Reasoning
Non Causa Pro Causa
and finally you are a frequent abuser of the Argumentum Ad Speculum logical fallacy.

In other words, you are full of horse poo, and use terms which you have not the slightest understanding of. Congrats, you're a typical progressive moron.

Dont you just love it when libtards talk about things that they obviously do not understand?

It has become one of those spices I've had enough of.

Of course if a libturd is talking it's about a subject they know little about unless it's an issue that's all about themselves. They never want to shut the fuck up then either.

I see. So other than Swazliland, America is proud to point out that the US fairs better than Third World countries whose number of guns and war-making has been created by America in the first place? Wow! I am really impressed ......... .

When the US can compare itself favourably, with a degree of conviction amongst western, civilized nations, then I'll award it an "awe". But that's not likely to happen because, although the US likes to point out their number of wealthy businessmen and is eager to spend gazillions of dollars on military and space exploration, the bare fact is that an enormous percentage of the American population is uneducated, and is living under conditions of turmoil and poverty akin to a Third World nation. So it's really no wonder that it competes with other Third World nations with regards to crime and homicide.

Indeed they are just as funny as the flaming conspiracy theory loons who believe Sandy Hook, Charleston, and Aurora were all "fake and staged mass shootings."

Nooooooo, the vast majority of Americans are indeed not wealthy, but compared to third world nations our poor are the one percenters of the world. The fact that their education is so poor can be firmly laid at the feet of the pregressive loons, such as yourself, who feel that feeling good about yourself is more important than actual accomplishments.

Sometimes it just shocks me what some people are willing to believe.

It gives me doubts about the effectiveness of the democratic process sometimes.
