Third off... it's good you chose the UK and not a number of other countries... otherwise... (also you know, the list is unfinished.) Finally.. just looking at "Rampage killings" part here but...
since 1982...
it looks like 31 to 6. Which is 5.1 times. Edit, lets just add in school shootings UK 5ince 1982.
Looking at it though, looks like Mother Jones was wrong on the amount of shootings... practically everywhere. More common then I would of thought, but still not really enough for statistical significance. |
also people dont seem to realize that gun ownership really isnt tied to the amount of crime in a country. they fail to look at historical data. they love pointing to countries like britian, but they has always had lower murder rates than the us, even before they implemented gun bans. and in fact crime went up after they baned guns.
its like saying country X has reletively little gun control in 1930 and murder rate of 50 per 1000, but country Z in 1930 with also little gun control has murder rate of 10 per 1000. but in 2012 country x still has little gun control but murder 25 per 1000, and country Z banned guns and they have murder rate of 15 per 1000.
look. country Z has soo little crime, and look how much country X has. Bann gunZ!!!!
