This stuff is so obvious; guns cause a drop in crime.
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:Honduras – 67.18 per 100,000 residents per yearVenezuela – 59.13Swaziland – 37.16Guatemala – 34.1Jamaica – 30.72El Salvador – 26.77Colombia – 25.94Brazil – 21.2Panama – 15.11Uruguay – 11.52
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.
Those other western nations...France, Britain and the rest of Europe.....do not have our criminal problem...their criminals do not resort to murder as easily or as often as our criminals do....and it has nothing to do with access to guns...our non gun murder rate is higher than theirs....I repeat...our non gun murder rate is higher than their total murder rate.........
Our criminals are more likely to commit murder because they have a different criminal culture than the Europeans and Australians do......
But....this is changing....these other countries are importing violent populations from 3rd world countries....and Melbourne, Australia is now known as the city of the gun.....and they have offered another amnesty because the levels of illegal gun ownership in Australia have gone up...after the confiscation....
British gun crime went up 4% nation wide in 2014 and 10% in their major cities including London........
Gun control has failed in all of these countries.....they are just now beginning to see more gun violence because they are importing violent killers....we raised our violent killers in single, teenage mother run homes......
And again.....in the 1990s.....we had 200 million guns in private hands and 1.2 milion people carrying concealed guns....we now have in 2016, 357 million guns and 15 million people carrying guns for self defense...
Our gun murder rate went down 49%....
Our accidental gun death rate went down...
Our non fatal gun accident rate went down....
your entire post is wrong....in every single aspect....
