Junkfreak - Your statement created interest. This information is being provided, not to offend but to demonstrate some interesting statistics. According to Wikipedia, the U.S. has the 91 highest murder rate per capita in the world. Even more interesting was Canada was 89 on the list with a slightly higher number. Now things get real interesting, the top 56 countries on the list were in Africa. So a quick search of homicide types in South Africa was done. In 2007 it had 83,000 homicides. Of those only 8,319 were by firearm. Wish I had time to research further, but this proves to me I live in the right place at the right time.

I stand corrected. Info said 111, not sure what year tho. Still looks like banning guns does nothing as far as violence goes .
