2. Not sure why 1998 would be the most recent data available but that's what they cited.
U.S. 11.3 < all causes France 5.0 < all causes Germany 1.5 < gun murders only Japan 0.1 < gun murders only England 0.3 < all causes Canada 3.4 < all causes[/QB]
your kidding me right
those "Facts" you posted are nothing more than lies printed by the bozo's who want the NRA shut down.
What they don't tell you is this. for every country besides the USA a gun has been used to shoot and murder a person.
in the USA those gun numbers include but are not limited too
robberies ending in death involving a gun car accidents where a firearm was present home invasions ending in death where a gun was present defensive firearm actions ending in a death home accidents ending in a death where a firearm was present
and again I dont have all the numbers cause im at work but those numbers are a joke.
Blue Sky I'm not attacking you
But England had a school shooting and outlawed all guns crime jumped so high they had to increase their police force.
holland has a policy that every homeowner has a gun in their home as part of their homeowner policy.
crime dropped drastically
