If they are going to talk about gun control and public safety it would not hurt if
we all take a look at the data. In this case I am going to use the data collected by
GunPolicy.org that is an organization that provides evidence-based, public health-oriented information
on armed violence, small arms policy and firearm-related injury prevention around the world.
When I have more time I will build some regression models like those used for heard immunity in vaccination programs to demonstrate that more guns lead to more safety based on actual stats so you can share with others as needed but in the mean time I hope this helps understand there is no correlation between 'more' guns and 'more' violence. We are showing facts and not opinions.
If every citizen bothered to learn and get educated about their own data perhaps this would provide some illumination to the otherwise complacent, malleable and uninformed population. But that might bother someone right?
Maybe the government doesn't want the people to be informed otherwise they might start looking for smart
politicians that can resolve problems.
Please let me provide this brief yet precise analysis it for you:
Everyone is saying we have a lot of guns in the USA. Yes we do! There is no denying it.
We do not have firearms in every home though as the next data chart might suggest.
What we have is some people that are huge collectors and have more firearms that they can shoot
in a couple of lifetimes.
We also have Switzerland that has a very high rate of gun ownership and then our neighbors
in Mexico that have a very modest rate of gun ownership.
But now when we look at the nr. of Gun homicides by every 100,000 people in these countries
the numbers jump in Mexico, even with the extrict gun control.
We cal also see that although gun ownership in Switzeralnd is very high in almost every household
the gun homicides are some of the lowest in the world.
Switzerland is one of the safest countries on the planet. This is a fact.
As you can see the united states rates the first in firearm ownership but this number is a bit
misrepresentative because it is a result of all firearms / population but we know there are not
firearms in every house hold. In fact the rate of firearms per household is lower than in switzerland
but what we have are some people that have large collections of firearms.
Mexico rates 42 in the world ranking but their crime is a lot higher than the USA and obviously Switzerland.
Proportion of households with firearms data is not available in every country but if we look at the
USA we see that the percentage is not anywhere close to 100% as supported by other statistics.
We are also using very different states, a couple of progun with large gun ownership and a couple of
antigun states with smaller gun ownership on average..
Now if we look at the nr. of gun homicides for those states we see that places with greater
firearm ownership have less gun homicides. Homicide rate in Illinois spikes over the national average
and it is 4-5 times higher than Utah and Maine that are pro-gun states. So there are other factors that
are the cause of violence and higher gun ownership might also contribute to public safety.

Lets take another two countries in two different regions of the planet and with two difference approaches to
gun ownership.
One is Norway with a high percentage of gun ownership and strong gun culture and the other is Venezuela with
smaller percentage of gun ownership and very strict gun laws.
In contrast we find out that although gun ownership is a lot lower in Venezuela the gun related
homicide is much higher than in the USA and specially Norway. One might thing that gun control
and low gun ownership is a Public Safety Risk.
Perhaps the following data is the most revealing piece of information about guns impact on crime.
It turns out that in places with stricter gun control and less guns, more guns are used in homicide
while in other countries with higher gun ownership guns are less used on the homicides.
What this stat is telling us is that homicides rate is not related to gun ownership and higher gun ownership reduces
the amount of crime committed with guns. So our data is telling us that illegal guns are used in those
areas of high crime rates and other problems are the reasons for the increased homicide rate, not the guns.
So what do we learn by looking at the gun ownership and crime data objectively:
A) Increased gun ownership reduces crime. Here we are talking about legal and responsible gun ownership.
B) Areas with lower gun ownership and stricter guns laws have higher crime rates. In these areas more
guns are used in homicides and violent crime but they are illegal guns. Other data sources like the FBI crime
database confirm these facts.
C) Higher gun ownership reduces the amount of crime committed with guns.
We all know if we looked at these statistics in detail by region by city and even metropolitan area we will find out that
there are other factors like poverty, drugs, cartels, gang activity that do have a huge impact in increased gun homicide.
Mental Health, Drugs, Organized Crime... those are problems that our politicians do not know how to resolve.
Therefore some have chosen to take advantage of the ignorance and status of fear of the population to induce the idea that firearms
are the reason for the homicides and increased violent crime when in reality increased responsible gun ownership helps
with public safety.
Where there is a shooting where average defenseless citizens are murdered some politicians and the sensationalist press
spare no time to use that situation as propaganda to advance radical agendas to disarm the population.
Higher gun ownership is not going to resolve the other profound problems we have but it might provide some security
to people who are living in dangerous areas and they might be left defenseless by an overreaching and controlling government.
So use this information and educate others. Talk to your representative and demand solutions to the true problems that
have nothing to do with increased firearms ownership.
