[QUOTE="Malika, post: 568607, member: 11227"] Truly, one doesn't need to be a maths genius or statistician to figure it out. These figures are from a few years ago but the proportions will be roughly the same now, I imagine. In England and Wales, where gun ownership is illegal other than for hunting purposes, and strictly licensed and controlled, 6.6 per cent of all homicides involve a firearm and 6.2 people per 100 own a gun. In the US, 60 per cent of homicides involve a firearm and 88 people per 100 own a gun. Fewer guns = fewer people dying from guns. It's not all that surprising. [/QUOTE]
