Yeah they stop so much murder our homicide rate is 4-5X greater than countries with strong gun control. Seems to be a highly ineffective way of stopping murders. Crime went down after we got background checks.
Wrong, you doofus...... those countries used to have low murder rates due to the personal tastes of their criminals...they did not commit murder......now, with the social welfare states destroying families in those countries and generations of young girls raising young males without fathers in the home, their violence and gun crime rates are going up....add to that their importing violent, 3rd world males and reducing their police funding and manpower and you are now seeing increasing levels of violent crime all across Europe......
Crime went down as more Americans bought, owned and carried guns....
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...guess what happened...

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.
