If you're going to argue that gun ownership results in a higher murder rate, use a different city. |
Guns dont kill people, strong winds do?
In all fairness, its a lot harder to kill someone without guns. we could pick the whole country and come to the same conclusion. Compare any state in america to the whole of the UK. Go on, any of the Lowest 5 states in the gun murder stakes per year to the whole of the UKs gun murder rate. We'll go by percentage of population murdered shall we?
