And with a homicide rate 4-5X higher than countries with strong gun control it is time we get some strong gun control.
Proof of the 4-5X higher homicide rate? I already know the facts, and that is not the case.
They don't let people have guns in Cuba, but their murder rate is higher than the US.
All countries compared for Crime > Violent crime > Murder rate per million people
The US is nearly as safe as Albania on those figures. Take a bow.
You wanna compare assault, rape, and robbery rates between UK and US, Tommy?
Women can carry guns in the US, boy.
'Merica!
Women get shot by guns a lot in the US.
The
Violence Policy Center looked at FBI crime data from 2015, the most recent year available. It’s the first analysis of the 2015 data on female homicide victims. The study found there were 328 justifiable homicides committed by private citizens that year, and only 16 involved a woman killing a man with a gun. Conversely, there were 1,686 cases where a woman was murdered by a man with a gun. Those are only single-victim, single-offender incidents, and exclude mass shootings, so if anything it’s an undercount. (Domestic abuse that turns deadly can end up claiming many victims beyond the targeted woman, like
the incident in Texas this month where a gunman showed up at his estranged wife’s house and killed her and eight other people who were attending a football party.)
