354. For the same reason we have more computer crime and car accidents |

Because were have more of them in the first place.
And we rank 24 in the world in terms of gun homicide.
The UK has been pretty effective in reducing gun homicides. Their gun homicide rate is at record lows!
But.... their overall homicide rate is at or near record highs.
Their gun bans has been as effective at reducing overall homicide and crime rates as a US ban on black-painted automobiles would reduce overall traffic deaths and injuries. And only a fool would wave the latest statistics about how black-painted-automobile-related deaths and injuries were down and claim it as progress.
