And who is bringing the firearms into Mexico? The US based gangs maybe? Arms are flowing over the border as quickly as illegal immigrants from the other side.. The list of western countries I have given you is a good data base to compare facts. From 0.12% in England to 2.97% is a massive difference.. Do you really want the UK to have the same gun laws than the States?
Lasbar, what I am doing is testing the hypothesis of an inverse relationship between ristrictive gun ownership and the [gun] murder rate. Entirely valid. If you aren't comfortable with Mexico, lets bring thing a little closer to home. Handguns are banned in Luxembourg but not in Belgium, France or Germany, yet the [gun]murder rate is several times higher in Luxembourg. Why? I'll leave you with that.
