I was just challenged by the owner of a gun blog to illustrate how well gun control works.
Challenge Accepted.
US = no gun control == 14078 gun homicides==0.00446% of the population==. 4.69 per 100000
Somalia = no gun control== 138 gun homicides==0.0000138% of the population==1.38 per 100,000
Yeman = no gun control== 990 homicides (by any means)==0.0000413% = 4.304 per 100,000 (this total includes deaths by swords, stonings, long curved knives and guns).
==============
Japan = good gun control == 11 gun homicides== 0.00000866% of population == 0 per 100,000
S. Korea = good gun control ==14 gun homicides == 0.0000290% of population == 0 per 100,000
Spain = good gun control == 67 gun homicides == 0.0000565% of population == 0 per 100,000
Finally, Australia. a single country on both sides of the spectrum! One that had no gun control, then passed legislation which controlled guns. In similar terms out of 100,000, it went from a high ratio of 4.71 to 1.06…. Gun control where you make it illegal to own a military grade weapon works deliciously well…
Now, Mike W. Prove how homicides go down when you give everyone a gun … Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…
The stupid NRA has their head wedged so far up their butt, I bet it hurts bad when they try to sit down…

Phillipines. Gun ownership rate of 4.7 guns per 100,000 people. Gun homicide rate of 3.25 per 100,000.
U.S. Gun ownership rate of 101.2 per 100,000 people.
Gun homicide rate of 3.98 per 100,000.
Oh, and the overall homicide rate was actually HIGHER in the phillipines, at 7.4 than in the U.S. at 7.13. ~22 times more guns in civilian hands here in the U.S. and yet the Phillipines has higher homicide rates.
So our gun OWNERSHIP rate is ~22 times higher than it is in the Phillipines, yet their gun homicide rate is right in line with ours, despite massively fewer guns in civilian hands.

The rate of gun homicide has also doubled in your gun control utopia of Australia in the past few years. Can’t explain that now can you?
