Are homicide rates higher or lower in countries with stricter gun control laws?

Answer 1

I know in the United States the states with stricter laws have more violence than those with no or less strict laws. I just got out of a Soc class where we saw the actual statistics.

Answer 2

This is one of the favorite arguments of gun control proponents, and yet the facts show that there is simply no correlation between gun control laws and murder or suicide rates across a wide spectrum of nations and cultures. In Israel and Switzerland, for example, a license to possess guns is available on demand to every law-abiding adult, and guns are easily obtainable in both nations. Both countries also allow widespread carrying of concealed firearms, and yet, admits Dr. Arthur Kellerman, one of the foremost medical advocates of gun control, Switzerland and Israel "have rates of homicide that are low despite rates of home firearm ownership that are at least as high as those in the United States." A comparison of crime rates within Europe reveals no correlation between access to guns and crime.

Answer 3

I believe them to be the same i dont think gun control is the answer cause when you take away the right to own a gun you will find that criminals will still be able to get a gun if they want one . The same way a drug addict finds drugs . gun control is not the answer . good luck .
