ALL (109) of the countries above America ,
HAVE 100% gun bans.
 
It might be of interest to note that SWITZERLAND is not shown on this list, because it has...NO MURDER OCCURRENCE!
 
However, SWITZERLAND'S law requires that EVERYONE:
1. Own a gun.
2. Maintain Marksman qualifications ... regularly .
 
Did you learn anything from this??
 
I think the message is - loud and clear...
 
GUN bans and restrictions...DO NOT work!
