“If having more guns in society worked to deter shootings, then America would have the lowest rate of gun violence of any developed country,” Avery Gardiner, the co-president of the Brady Campaign, said in a statement provided to Fox News.
The U.S. has a low murder rate, in the overall scheme of things, if you include *all* countries.
To get that list they have to exclude countries with high murder rates, such as Mexico, Jamaica, South Africa, Venezuela, Brazil and Russia.
Also notice the verbal trick of looking only at “gun violence” another Orwellian phrase designed to mislead.
“gun violence” includes disparate items unconnected with each other, such as suicide, homicide and accidents. The only common factor is guns. They are all lumped together to foster the agenda of banning guns.
As your examples demonstrate it means western European, whereas those eliminated are largely populated by what in the US would be considered minorities. Blacks, Hispanics, Arabs, and the like. If a conservative were to make that suggestion, he be called a racist.
PS, the majority of crime in the US is committed by those same minorities. Could it be a cultural thing? Not hardware?
