No. I've never thought it was predictable by the volume in gun ownership. It is the ratio in different countries where ownership is liberal that interests me. For instance: "almost half of murders are committed by a narrow social group of Black males age 17 to 50 (constituting less than 3% of general population)" en.wikipedia.org Now if you take this 3% demographic out of the equation the U.S. would compare favourably with any country in the world. In a related observation we look at the recent catastrophe in Orleans and ITS reputation as the murder capital. So what sociological demographics encourage Black males to commit murder?? They were certainly not all that aggressive when they were slaves...?? This is a sensitive issue but facts must be faced square on if problems are to be solved. Now I take it for granted that a good percentage of Black criminals are framed by police or others. But criminal police do not nearly account for the incredible percentage of "almost half of murders are committed by a narrow social group of Black males age 17 to 50 (constituting less than 3% of general population)"
