Reply #13: 48 people out of 6 .8 mil.(your numbers are misleading)

the VAST majority of murders appear to be NON GUN. Probably stabbings. Like the murders in england.

My point, hundreds of thousands have access to powerful military weapons and training, but do not kill each other. No correlation.

Very interesting. In Japan where weapons are BANNED you still have a very high rate. Canada stands out as well.
