Reply to comment by MadcapHaskap in [OC] Firearm availability compared to homicide rates around the world by blizzard36

What data am I missing here? Where's a country with high gun ownership and high intentional homicide?

At best you can say from this (poorly made) graph is that # of guns is not the only factor in homicide. This proves nothing about gun ownership bringing down homicide. The truth is all countries are different, and they all have different factors that can raise or lower homicide rates.

That's fair, also proves the existence of guns doesn't increase homicide either.
