I think it was Adam, but I can't remember. This graph seems to show that isn't true. Japan is definitely true, though (low ownership and low violence)
Not me... I didn't say 100% ownership... I said that the Czech Republic has a pretty open gun ownership policy, and that any citizen can conceal carry if they chose, but that they do not have near the gun violence we do... That is all I said. I never even speculated at the percentage of citizens there who own guns.
Point... They have more laz policies than we do, but way less gun violence, suggesting that it is our CULTURE here in the US that is particularly violent.
Data from your graph:In reply to: FIREARMS MURDERS AND CIVILIAN GUN OWNERSHIP Czech Republic 1,600,000 civilian firearms - 16.3 for every 100 people Ranked 38 in the world for civilian gun ownership In the latest year, there were 20 homicides by firearm - 0.19 per 100,000 population. 11% of all homicides are by firearm
See... They are not near as homicidle as we are.
