[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB]Switzerland has a higher rate of handgun homicide than other countries, such as Australia, Canada and Britain. Yet Switzerland, with a murder rate of 1.1 per 100,000 has . . .a somewhat lower murder rate than Great Britain (1.1 for England and Wales, 1.7 for Scotland). The data suggest that there is not necessarily a relationship between the handgun homicide rate and the overall homicide rate.[QB] [/QUOTE]And the OVERALL murder rate for the UK would be. . ? Not much higher given comparative population densities of England & Scotland. The actual difference is infinitesimal. You're going to have us believe that a few more people killed in the UK in one particular year, than in Switzerland, is sufficient proof that widespread gun ownership is not connected to murder rates?
