How would strict gun control laws that have FAILED in your country work anywhere else? Perhaps you should look at the person who willingly pulls the trigger. Explain to me why, with such "GOOD" gun control laws you still have such a horrendous gun homicide rate.

Here is a clue; Criminals do not obey laws. The only people disarmed by gun control are those that obey the law.
You could have not brought up a better poster child for the "gun control fallacy" than Jamaica. Thanks!
