År 2005 var siffrorna 1,7/100000 i Kanada och 6,4/100000 i US, så i US var det ungefär 3,8 ggr mera mord per 100000 inv. Som kuriosa kan nämnas att Ryssland låg på 22 och Svedala låg på 0,9.deepforest skrev:I gränstrakterna vid USA/Canada är det samma befolkning, samma ursprung, de är släkt mm eftersom gränsen tidigare bara var en "symbolisk gräns".
Hur kommer det sig att mord är tio gånger vanligare på USA sidan? Fortfarande ärthjärnor?
Vad skillnaden beror på är inte såå lätt att avgöra.. Jag har fortfarande lust att få ta del av hur ssri-preparat och annat påverkar. Att det är kriminella människor som mördar kan vi väl ändå enas om?! Såna skaffar inte licens.

Highlights
• A comparison of police-reported crime rates between Canada and the United States for 2000
shows that the U.S. has much higher rates of violent crime, while Canada generally has higher
rates of property crime. Despite differences in rates, trends in crime between the two countries
have been quite similar over the past twenty years.
• In Canada, there were 542 homicides in 2000 resulting in a national rate of 1.8 homicides per
100,000 population. By comparison, there were 15,517 homicides in the U.S., resulting in a rate
(5.5) three times higher than Canada’s.
• Both countries have seen a decline in the number of homicides during the past decade, particularly
in the U.S. Twenty years ago, the American homicide rate was about four times that of Canada.
• Similarly, the aggravated assault rate in the U.S. was more than double the Canadian rate in 2000.
The U.S. also showed a higher rate of robbery (65% higher) than Canada. About 41% of robberies
in the U.S. involved a firearm, compared to 16% in Canada.

Jag har inte sett dom siffrorna, men däremot har jag sett siffror på att när folk inte får bära vapen så passar "buset" på att härja:deepforest skrev:Efter 9/11 ökade vapeninnehaven i USA med ca 25% och som av en händelse ökade antalet mord och vapenrelaterade brott med samma siffror!
Källa:justfacts.comDuring the years in which the D.C. handgun ban and trigger lock law was in effect, the Washington, D.C. murder rate averaged 73% higher than it was at the outset of the law, while the U.S. murder rate averaged 11% lower.
The homicide rate in England and Wales has averaged 52% higher since the outset of the 1968 gun control law and 15% higher since the outset of the 1997 handgun ban.
Since the outset of the Chicago handgun ban, the percentage of Chicago murders committed with handguns has averaged about 40% higher than it was before the law took effect.
Källa:ZeroHedge.comThe interesting thing about all of this is because of differentiated gun laws in these United States we can see how effective gun bans really are in the places where they are in effect. The answer seems to be not very effective. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, as what ends up happening with gun bans is that only criminals end up with guns. A criminal will not obey the law, and even in the Newtown shooting case, these weren’t Adam Lanza’s guns. He stole them from his own mother.
For the record, I’d love a world without guns, but as long as criminal governments have them and start wars, the people have the right as well. The actions of one or several mentally ill people should not lead to the restriction of a Constitutionally enshrined right for the hundreds of millions of law abiding, honest citizens that use firearms responsibly. In fact, with an estimated 300 million firearms within these United States, I’d say it’s somewhat impressive how little gun violence there is.
Unfortunately, going forward, I expect gun violence to escalate. I don’t think this is a result of the number of guns as much the result of increased poverty and societal marginalization as a result of the economic catastrophe we are witnessing. A direct result of criminal theft by the TBTF financial institutions that gun haters like Michael Bloomberg protect and serve. It is also the result of the increasingly sick culture that has developed in America. One that is in many ways a reflection of the sickness and depravity at the very top of U.S. society emanating from the political and economic oligarchs. It reminds me of the anti-drug commercial from the 1980?s where the son says to the father “from you dad, I learned it by watching you.” It’s the same with violence in America. Our own government leads by example.
