US murder rate is still 3x higher than the UK's at the end of it all, the American law must be missing something. Either that, or the economic system is the cause of the problem there. |
Why would it be the law? It's not as if the crimerate is evenly distributed. There were four murders by guns in my county last year. A county of 300,000. That's a gun homcide rate of 1.333~, including the 2 or 3 other homicdes, it would be about 2. It is purely 1. cultural and/or 2. economic. One just has to compare New Hampshire (which has some of the freest gun laws in the country) to New York State(which has the most restrictive.)
