wealth inequality, not guns.

[gejohnston]

4. so, what about Japan and Iceland?

Let's compare all 5 'armed to the teeth' countries (iceland negligible), with USA:
USA has ~300 million guns...
Finland 3 million guns, Norway 2m, Canada 8m, Switzerland 3m = 16 million guns.
USA has approx 285 million more guns. What is USA then? armed to the gizzard?

since you didn't adjust for population, no.

You under counted the number of guns in each of these countries.

thinks johnston's blog author doubles as a wizard or magician, observe how he creates the illusion that UK &

Japan are both equally unarmed (suggesting firearms), when the UK has 10 times higher the gun rate than japan. UK has a handgun ban, japan restricts all.
True, england/wales has 3 times the overall murder rate than japan, but also 10 times the gun rate; & Eng/W (UK) ranks 88th of the ~178 countries in the world for gun rate, while japan ranks 164th.

and Iceland ranks 15th and is lower than them all. Since UK banned handguns in 1997 and machine guns in 1937, why are most if not all UK gun murders involve pistols and automatic weapons? Why do Europeans use machine guns more than the US? Until 1977, It was easier for a Canadian to legally own a machine gun than a handgun there or a machine gun here, yet their machine gun crime is just as non existent as it is today, why?
