If strict gun laws don't keep guns out of the hands of criminals, why is America the only developed country?

Tough gun laws sure didn't stop Breivik from getting them. LOL!

NYC has very strict gun control laws and gun violence is very low.

blacks and mexicans, we can send you a few million but I see that England has theirs and the crime is rising. S/F/O

[panteno]

You are of course, incorrect. As usual. Go to any african "nation". Or South America such as Columbia for example. I'll be keeping all my guns thanks. You can stay unarmed and that's fine with me.

You know who else has some really stringent gun laws? Mexico.

Have perchance noticed that countries with large amounts of violent death have a historical commonality? I'll let you figure out what that is.

The UK has more stabbings than the US has criminal shootings. They also have mass shootings in the UK and they have gun bans.

Look up the racial demographics of whatever countries you call "developed" and that should answer your question.

[wahchintonka48]

169,202,000 murdered by their own repressive governments since the 20th century. The victims did not own guns.

[augustus]

America is the only developed country with a right to own guns and it also has the highest gun murder and accidental death rate. Coincidence? I think not.

Forgot to do the research on this one, eh? Since there are many countries with gun control who have far more violence and death than America, I believe you are wrong.
