Also good guys with guns never miss their targets and never get shot
A good, conservative guy with a gun would be able to prevent a crime even in the overcrowded streets of Tokyo... without hitting any innocent bystanders
tell me how many cops have hit the innocent bystanders in the last 12 months?
you want to see cities that have a mandatory gun ownership rate. you got it, not cherry picking at all. Kennesaw is just the most well known city requiring the ownership of firearms.
Also, you should still explain me why western countries with strict gun laws have such a low murder rate, in particular compared to the SunBelt States... I wonder why you avoid such question
Garbage. UK Murder Rates Drop to 30-Year Low, But Why?
UK has had just 550 homicides in 2012.
Only the trashy city of Houston has experienced 250 homicides in 2012.
Nice try, honey.
A new study released yesterday by The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence reported "a clear link between high levels of gun violence and weak state gun laws."
Across the key indicators of gun violence that were analyzed, the 10 states with the weakest gun laws collectively had an aggregate level of gun violence more than twice as high—104 percent higher, in fact—than the 10 states with the strongest gun laws.
The data analyzed in this report relate to the following 10 indicators of gun violence:
-Overall firearm deaths in 2010
-Overall firearm deaths from 2001 through 2010
-Firearm homicides in 2010
-Firearm suicides in 2010
-Firearm homicides among women from 2001 through 2010
-Firearm deaths among children ages 0 to 17, from 2001 through 2010
-Law-enforcement agents feloniously killed with a firearm from 2002 through 2011
-Aggravated assaults with a firearm in 2011
-Crime-gun export rates in 2009
-Percentage of crime guns with a short “time to crime†in 2009
States were ranked on these indicators and then compared to the ranking of states on the strength of their gun laws.

When the gun laws were similar the USA still had a higher homicide rate. That particular debate has been hashed out no less than 10 times. History, culture, and demographics.

550? with no firearms in the peoples hands, that number should be zero.

Harsh punishment. Murders still happen though. They also have LOTS of stabbings.

maybe it is because we have the right to bear arms, vs those countries governments in europe and other places that dont want their private citizens to own firearms.
murders happen, the firearm is just a tool, nothing more. if no firearms were on the planet earth, then murders would still happen.
