Gun Control Fails: What Happened in England, Ireland, and Canada

20. Let's compare countries with stricter gun laws than the UK,

BTW, when it comes to murder rates, we are far below the average and the mean.
Actually, we don't. When you get them from different government sources and look at what they are actually measuring. They are, however, often misused and slanted for propaganda purposes.
When you include "gun deaths" you include suicides. Mexico has fewer gun deaths, never mind that their murder rate five times ours. Most of their murders are not with guns. Neither are their suicides.
The real issue, as criminologist Gary Kleck once pointed out, it isn't the number of guns, it is who has them. In parts of Norway, gun ownership is not only mandatory, you are required to carry it when you go on a nature hike. Probably not something like an AR-15, but I wouldn't carry one there anyway. Or any semi automatic in general. In extreme cold, they tend to freeze, which is why the Danish Marines Sirus patrols still use bolt actions, so the the Canadian Rangers. Besides, I doubt the effectiveness the round would have on a hungry polar bear.

I seriously doubt they have higher murder rate than the rest of the country.
