Also there was a time when Britain had similar gun laws to the US, pre-1964. When they enacted their gun laws the murder rate didn't drop, it stayed the same and slowly rose through the 1970s. The UK has always had lower crime than the US, even when they gun laws were the same.
Gun deaths UK/USA UK 0.26, USA 10.5 deaths per 100,000 population per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co...death_rate
You do realize I'm talking about the murder rate, right? Which doesn't have anything to do with what you said. Also do you think those gun deaths, most of which are suicides, wouldn't have happened without guns? Japan manages to have sky high suicides without gun deaths. If you want to talk about statistics address my points.
