Gun violence in the world

[Delta4Embassy]

"The key facts are:

• The US has the highest gun ownership rate in the world - an average of 88 per 100 people. That puts it first in the world for gun ownership - and even the number two country, Yemen, has significantly fewer - 54.8 per 100 people
• But the US does not have the worst firearm murder rate - that prize belongs to Honduras, El Salvador and Jamaica. In fact, the US is number 28, with a rate of 2.97 per 100,000 people"

Gun homicides and gun ownership listed by country News The Guardian

So we have the highest gun ownership in the world, but despite that NOT the highest gun murder rate. We're 28th in the world in fact.

So how is gun availability linked to gun violence? It isn't. Simple as that.

Go tell that to Obama, who thinks other countries dont have problems with gun violence.

A hilarious Australian stand-up comic explains what U.S. gun laws look like to the rest of the world

In 2008-2012, guns were used in 42,419 criminal homicides and only 1,108 justifiable homicides (defined as the killing of a felon during the commission of a felony by a private citizen), according to the report -- a ratio of 38 to 1.

So how is gun availability linked to gun violence? It isn't. Simple as that.

Facts show that gun control has almost no effect on homicides whatsoever.
That is simply reality. Murder is much more related to social factors than to the availability of a means mostly because there is always a means available.

Apples and antelopes isn't a comparison of worth. Compare the US with other Western Democracies and get back to us.

There gun violence is contained, for now, in their biker gangs and immigrant communities...and centered around their shipping ports.........

it certainly does in Iraq since isil took over

isil imposes strict gun control on anyone who opposes them

followed by mass murder

 

[jon_berzerk]

couldnt help but notice

that in several really violent countries

the data was left blank

 

[2aguy]

And don't forget.....as the guy on Red Eye, the host, pointed out....Europe has led the world in concentration camps.....and death camps...let's never forget that....

Here is a comparison worthy of consideration:

Visualizing gun deaths - Comparing the U.S. to rest of the world

Here is a comparison worthy of consideration:

Visualizing gun deaths - Comparing the U.S. to rest of the world

and as was already pointed out...we lead the world in legal gun ownership but are only 28 in the murder rate....

And Europe leads the world in death camps..........

 

[2aguy]

This is the truth...in video form from one of my favorite video commentarians.....watch it and learn somethin wry catcher...you need the help...

And of course you fail to point out that Americans use guns to stop or prevent violent criminal attack and save lives 2million times a year on Average...that is 2 million fewer lives shattered by violent criminals.....

2 million crimes stopped vs.

Accidental gun deaths 2013...505

Gun murders 2013....8,454


Which number is bigger? Even you should be able to do that math...

Homicides and governmental sanctioned killings are two different animals and two different conversations.
We need not get into the fact that gun control makes it easier for a governing body to get out of control and murder its own citizens – the reasoning behind controlling guns in the first place is moot as it does not reduce homicides or crimes. Therefore the fact that unarmed populations can be easily killed by the government is moot – there is no reason for that population to be unarmed in the first place so there is no need to justify ‘allowing’ the ownership of arms.

That would be a meaningless comparison considering that the homicide rate in many of those nations does NOT change when gun laws are passed in those very same nations.
IOW, guns HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE NATIONS LOWER HOMICIDE RATES. End of story.

therefore, we can expect mass murder of American citizens after all 300 million + guns in circulation in America have been confiscated?

No, it's not the"End of story". Even if the statement above is true, why are Americans more prone to murder each other? Clearly a broad question, but one that needs to be explored.

I know a guy whose ex brother-in-law was attacked by 43 thugs in a back alley in Detroit, and with only a hand gun was able to fight off 41, kill two and one five year old when an errant shot escaped the alley and hit the child in her mom's minivan.

True story, sorry, I don't have any facts to back it up, but that seems to be the theme with many of the posts by 2aguy and his brethren.
