The prevalence of guns is linked to the prevalence of deaths by gun shot wound.
This does not mean guns are the cause of crime.
I've ask you this several times
How many of those homicides were committed in cities or states with strict gun control laws?
I don't have those stats in my head, dude. There are studies done on this, but I don't have them here.
With not being in the US myself myself, the international stats have always been of more interest to me than the domestic ones.
Why not go and look yourself?
OMG without being in the U.S. personally you can't give me the stats but you can give me the stats of homicides in the U.S.? I TELL YOU WHAT TAKE YOUR STATS AND KEEP THEM IN YOUR COUNTRY.
