Gun Control Laws are ignored by Criminals...

Don't forget the criminals that make up gun laws. Chicago hasn't rescinded their gun control laws, even though they were ordered to do so by SCOTUS.

DC complied when SCOTUS told them their laws were unconstitutional. I was hoping to say gun fatalities were down since then. But they are back on the upward swing.

So where exactly are these gun deaths coming from? I'd guess the environment of the local social system. Drug trade. Eliminate that, and a lot of the deaths anti-gun people point to won't be there. Only one way that's going to be eliminated. Legalize the drugs and treat it like they do in Portugal. They saw a major decrease in crime. The street dealer can't compete with thevl corner Walgreen's or Wal-Mart.

Well, the UK averages about one gun related death per million in population. The US has a population of 319+/- million so the number of gun, with the same ratio should be around 319 a year, even 350 would becachigh number. In 2013, the CDC reported over 11,000 homicides, over 500 accidental deathes and over 200 undetermined gun related fatalities. Does not include self defense or police shootings. About 35 gun related deaths per million a year versus the UK's one per million.

Check other countries and their gun control laws and see how they fair.
