An explanation, from a gun nut.

68. Wow, a bunch of fabricated statistics! The NRA has trained you well.

Even if we were to accept these numbers, what they illustrate is that even though the US is, as a whole, less violent than the UK, there is still far more homicide, because of the guns.

Of course, the UK is not the only developed country other than the US, if you look at violent crime rates in other developed nation, you find that the US is somewhere in the middle. It's only homicide where we are way out of the normal range. The other thing is that comparing "violent crime" rates internationally is not always an apples-to-apples comparison, because different countries define it differently.

Approximately 200,000 women in the United States use guns to protect themselves against sexual crime every single year.

This is false. The total number of defensive gun uses in the US is about 100,000, as per the National Crime Victimization Survey.

Down in Australia, gun murders increased by about 19 percent and armed robberies increased by about 69 percent after a gun ban was instituted.

This is false. Homicide rates dropped since the gun ban in Australia.

I have no idea where you are getting these numbers...
