Murder per capita:
24th USA: 0.042802 PER 1,000 People
46th UK: 0.0104633 PER 1,000 People
This is nations with the highest murder per capita. The only countries that have higher murder per capita's than the USA are Latin America countries, vastly undeveloped countries, and a few Eastern European countries.
Murder with firearms per capita:
8th USA: 0.0279271 Per 1,000 people.
32nd UK: 0.00102579 Per 1,000 people.
This is nations with the highest murder with firearms per capita. Again the only countries to have higher murder with firearms per capita are Latin America countries and vastly underdeveloped countries. To find USA, probably the most developed country in the world to be 8th highest is shocking and totally unacceptable.
These statistics pretty much prove that it is safer to live in a country that bans guns than it is to live in a country that allows them. |
Yeah he's from Croatia. Hence Croatia has a higher murder per captia number. Yet he thinks America isnt' safe in comparison.
Also it doens't prove anything because there are many confounding variables, which if you knew anything in statistics you'd know. If you however compare likewise cities in the US those with stricter gunlaws actually have a higher murder rate. |
Croatia has a lower murder per capita than the USA. At least that is what the tables I'm looking at now tell me.
Obviously it is not 100% proof. But USA and UK are very similar countries. Both are up there with the most developed countries in the world. Yet USA's murder per capita is FOUR times greater, and its murder with firearms per capita is TWENTY-SEVEN times greater. Also more than 50% of murders in the USA are with firearms. I don't believe for one second that all of those 50% of murders would have happened if firearms were made illegal.
