Best figures I can get regarding method.
MURDER RATE PER 100,000
USA - 5.9
Australia - 1.28
Britain - 1.62
France - 1.64
Germany - 0.98
METHOD (mid 1990's)
44% of US murders were by firearm.
7% in Australia
6% in France
2% in Germany
1% in the UK |
Since those numbers were so old and during 1994 the fire arms initiative I could not in good conscience use them. Since that time the 1994 ban has expired and during the 1994 law the Columbine incident occurred. The numbers don't currently make sense.
