It is as we know nothing to do with Guns but everything to do with an all out Attack on our Second Amendment and Constitutional Rights by the left!
As you will see below the number of murders per 100,000 population around the World. Some I have never heard of! And most every country involved in the statistics below have very stringent gun control or complete bans. Just more information advising they are on an agenda not solving the problem. They should be better spending their time on the real causes and trying to fix, minimize or control the causes not attacking guns and ownership which will do nothing at is it did 1994-2004! It is not guns as you can plainly see. It is issues in society, violence and mental illness. Here are the statistics.

LOL. yeah and most of those murders in the more 3rd world countries are by machete and like...rocks. violence is violence, period. That list proves it.

Gun control has nothing to do with guns. They just want a population easier to control.

Thomas Jefferson was spot on. The government fears us and they are trying to do everything and anything they can to turn the tides.

ALL THE COUNTRIES ABOVE AMERICA HAVE 100% GUN BANS OR ARE CLOSE TO IT.

Have you looked at the firearms laws in the countries listed. One for example South Africa to say they have close to 100% is not correct as you can legally buy firearms and conceal carry a firearm. That doesn't give me any confidence in your knowledge of the firearms laws in the other countries listed.

Most of Europe was absent. That is a great example of using selected data to make an unscientific point.

I would ask the OP if he considered that 10,000 or so American murders is OK, or why he may think that it is important that we kill less people than Somilia, or Sudan.

Probaly because the murder rate in the uk is lower than the ones on the list. Plus there is not Quote 100% GUN BANS OR ARE CLOSE TO in the uk.

Murder through the world from the UNODC - Homicide rate per 100,000 population.


United States of America

5 Rate.


2009.

United Kingdom
