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. |
"It doesn't matter if the murder rate is lower or higher when compared to other countries"
huh? isn't the whole point of this gun control agenda to save lives or something?
"the fact is that it would surely be much lower with better gun control laws."
the statistics i posted from the uk clearly shows that this conclusion is wrong and do you know why? because the possibility that your target may shoot you dead is actually a deterrent when a criminal is assessing a target
this is why switzerland a country with gun laws even more lax than the united states, where all men are required to serve in the military and retain their firearms has one of the lowest crime rates in the world
