FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda People keep crying about gun control laws, thinking they’re after the causes of these crimes. If I had correlation, I would take it. Always people are targeted emotionally, but never logically. If I’ve got correlation on paper in front of, and even causation, then I will proceed with confidence.
In Australia and in the UK, homicide rates did not change in spite of very strict gun bans. The homicide rate per capita in Japan is literally 1/10th that of the UK rate today. In Russia, the homicide rate per capita is 4 times higher than in the US, and the Russians have far fewer guns than the US. In Europe, the 10 countries with the highest guns per capita have the lowest homicides per capita, and the 10 countries with the lowest guns per capita have the highest homicides per capita. I still will not accept a correlation based upon that – you can’t compare one country to another, but it is still true there is no evidence of a correlation between gun control laws and violent crimes.
In the US, there are 14,000 homicides per year. Less than 100 of those are caused by the so-called “assault weapon”. The term “assault weapon” was defined by the US congress in 1993 – it doesn’t exists anywhere else in the world. It refers to a rifle with 2 of the following options: a pistol grip, a folding stock, a bayonet, a grenade launcher, and a large-capacity magazine. All armed forces use a thing called an “assault rifle”, which has selectable and fully-automatic fire. Meanwhile, the clear majority of all US firearms are semi-auto. While I find the 30-round magazine to give a few seconds advantage per 30 rounds, I also find that anyone can fire 100 rounds in a minute using 10-round clips and a 9 mm handgun. These are not water pistols.
According to gallup polling data, in the US there are 100 million gun owners and 150 million with direct access to guns in their own homes. With 10,000 gun homicides per year, that is 1 in 10,000 gun owners, or 1 in 15,000 with direct access to guns. I am amazed how gun homicides are as low as they are – 1 in 25,000 in 2011, down from 1 in 10,000 in 1980. Perhaps people are stoned and playing video games instead. That is quite a significant decline.
Conversely, in the same period, there are something like 70 mass killings in the this country. Now, let’s talk about correlation with causation. THe columbine killers had a psychiatrist and were taking SSRI drugs. Adam Lanza was also seeing a psychiatrist and taking her medications. The Aurora guy, the Virginia Tech guy, and a bunch of others were all seeing psychiatrists, no doubt playing their brain chemistry as well. So, there you have it – the actual cause.
Now maybe we could talk about the power of a psychiatrist to go into the homes of troubled cases and secure them. Or, we could talk about the rash of psychiatric meds these days – this is big business. This is $15 billion out of a $300 billion pharmaceutical industry than is collectively much more powerful in lobbying than the NRA.
And then, we can look to 50% of US homicides as being caused by arguments – people can learn about argument management, and the 33% caused by gangs; there are places in this country that are not safe to walk – we can talk about that. But let us act out of real, substantive correlation, here, and not just pure emotion.
