Yes, it does. Since 2013, 305 school incidents related to firearms occurred in the US, around one a week. From 1966 to 2012, the US was the country with the most mass shootings, 90, 72 more mass shootings than the second place, Philippines, that had 18. Between 2000 and 2010, the US (population of 309 million people) had 27 school killings with multiple victims. During the same period, Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Latvia, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Russia, Scotland, South Africa, South Korea, Swaziland, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago and Yemen (total population of 3.8 billion people), had 28. It doesn't matter if the murder rate is lower or higher when compared to other countries, the fact is that it would surely be much lower with better gun control laws. |
And how were those countries selected? Guising to prove someone point, they selected the countries with the lowest school shootings.
But look at a few posts before yours at the big write up. You can see that the average number of murders per year has increased in the UK as gun laws became more and more strict. Does correlation equal causation? If you guys are going to use that method, then I will.
