The rate of private gun ownership per 100 people
- United States 88.82
- United Kingdom is 6.72
- Canada 23.8
- Switzerland 45.7
The annual rate of homicide by any means per 100,000 population
- United States 4.96
- United Kingdom 1.2
- Canada 1.8
- Switzerland 0.70
The annual rate of firearm homicide per 100,000 population
- United States 2.98
- United Kingdom 0.03
- Canada 0.50
- Switzerland 0.52
- If homicide rates (and more specifically, firearm homicide rates) correlated with firearm ownership rates, then Mexico’s firearm homicide rate should only be about twice that of the UK’s, not 10 times higher. And Switzerland’s firearm homicide rate should significantly higher than it is, with their high rates of firearm ownership, and their overall homicide rate certainly shouldn’t be lower than the UK’s.
When you compare a wider selection of countries–rather than just the US and the UK–you find that there is... correlation between firearm ownership and homicide rates.

Law breakers are giving law abiding gun owners a black eye. Assault weapons, such as rocket launchers (rocket propelling grenades), are not for hunting or fishing, and therefore do not belong on our streets. Donate now to get guns out of the hands of criminals.
