Well thats not quite accurate. All EU countries have different gun laws. But in principle yes.I sort of knew you would say that. Which is why I only quoted murder rates. Nowhere in Western Europe is more dangerous than the US.Countries Compared by Crime > Murder rate. International Statistics at NationMaster.comFeel free to back up this ridiculous claim....
Click on the word "description" and it ranks the countries with El Salvador,shock, being at the top.
This chart uses the same measure and is based on FBI figures.
Murder Rates Nationally and By State | Death Penalty Information Center
As you can see New Hampshire is doing well but other parts of the country not so well.
Yeah sorry but we have this debate all the time with clueless liberals. Crime stats aren't reported the same in both places. If the same metric is used in both places then US compares better than Europe.
Nice try though. Your position would look like it had merit to those who don't understand that you are comparing apples to oranges instead of apples to apples.
This is a useful site. It only records gun deaths so doesnt give the full picture. It updates during the day which is quite chilling.
Meanwhile in the UK.
Police in Britain shot their guns just seven times in the last year
So you are saying there is more gun deaths in a country where every citizen is allowed to own guns vs a block a countries who no do not allow their citizens the freedom of gun ownership and have seized their guns....
Its not difficult is it ?
Taking the UK for example. The crime rate with guns rose after the 1997 seizure of guns until they hired 16% more police. It's still higher than it was before the 1997 law.
the problem in the USA is too many sub groups who haven't assimilated with one another. The CRA that LBJ signed just pushed integration over assimilation and set blacks on a path of violence.... Which is why black gangs are largely responsible for gun deaths. This was exactly what Barry Goldwater was afraid of... And why he didn't support the CRA.
