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.

What is causing the high murder rates in the USA? Whether it be gun ownership, or something else, something is fucking wrong with these crime rates.
