#1 Ever been to Lithuania?Good for New York
It’s strict gun control laws are working
Not hardly.....Considering Britain banned and confiscated guns....and their gun crime rate is going up, not down.....23% across England and Wales last year, up 42% in London, and 30% in Yorkshire......if gun control can't work on an island nation that completely banned and confiscated all guns except for the hunting shotguns of the rich.......gun control ain't gonna work anywhere....
And the British gave up their guns on the promise it would make them safer.......it didn't....
Meanwhile, in the U.S.......we know that more guns = less gun crime...
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.![]()
Hurrah................................
Why does Lithuania have the lowest gun ownership rates in Europe, but in European proportionate totals Lithuania is #1 in suicide, and #2 in murder?
Lithuania's murder rate is about 30% than the U.S.A, and the White murder rate comparison of White America vs Lithuania puts Lithuania's murder rate as about 3 X higher than the U.S.A White murder rate.
#2 see #1.
Lithuania's murder rate is higher than all of it's neighbors except Russia, and Lithuania's suicide rate is higher than every single neighbor.
Now, Lithuania's poverty rates, income levels are similar to it's neighbors, and it's gun ownership rates are lower than it's neighbors.
So, what's your explanation?
My explanation is a mix of Finno-Ugric genes, and a lot of the "Higher caste" Lithuanians being Polonized (Became Polish)
