Here is a very telling figure though.

If you subtract per captia murders by gun from per capita murders.

The US still has a higher murder rate then the UK...

and that's saying that nobody who was murdered with a gun would have been murdered anyway. A very unlikely situation to say the least.

 

In general survival rates for stab wounds are about 20% higher then gun wounds.


So... the US murder rate would still be WAY higher.

Nor does it take into account guns warding off crime. 

Which there is always Point Blank:Guns & Violence as a refrence... if you can't get ahold of journal articles.
