NRA bitterly opposes gun laws even though the gun laws are constitutional.
President Barack Obama (click here) claimed that “states with the most gun laws
tend to have the fewest gun deaths.” Republican presidential candidate
Carly Fiorina, meanwhile, has made nearly the opposite claim, saying
states with stringent gun control laws have “the highest gun crime rates
in the nation.”
In looking solely at the numbers of gun deaths and gun crimes, the data back up Obama, not Fiorina. But both politicians imply a causation that’s impossible to prove — that gun control laws lead to fewer or greater gun crimes or gun deaths.
Obama talked about gun deaths, while Fiorina said “gun crime rates,” which could include aggravated assault and robberies. Let’s start with gun deaths.
Gun laws are constitutional and when they exist there is less deaths by gun violence.
In the case where others are purchasing guns for what becomes a murderer or mass murderer, the 'other' should be implicated in the deaths caused by the guns purchased. These purchasers should face trial and prison.
This is a graph by the BBC that measures the number of deaths in a country due to gun violence. This graph is accurate to 2012.
The USA and Brazil are comparable because the populations are similar.The USA has 300+ million while Brazil has 200+ million.
There is nothing unique about the USA's gun violence. There is a 1 to 1 ratio in the USA in the number of guns per person in the country.
Brazil has about a 5 guns per hundred people. Both countries would benefit from gun control. The percentages of deaths would fall from very powerful weapons. Guns kill far easier than any other weapon available to the public.
The thing is this; the 1 to 1 ratio of guns per person in the USA is an inaccurate depiction of the gun ownership picture in the USA. That is why the graph above stating all those guns are owned by 43 percent of the USA population.
