Pop Quiz -Does Gun Control work?

[rladner]

Well, I'm going to describe legal gun ownership in a certain country. See if you can guess which country I'm referring to.

This country has only 1 (One) store where you can buy guns. It is located in the capital city and no matter where you live in this country, you must go to this store to legally buy a gun. The store is operated by the military. You must show legal id to enter the store and pass through metal detectors. You are not allowed to buy any police or military level weapons. Just hand guns. In order to buy a gun you must apply for a permit that will allow you to own a gun at your residence. Each family is only allowed to own 1 (One) gun for their protection. If you want to transport the gun you must apply for and allow for several weeks to obtain a permit to take the gun to another location. These are some of the strictist gun laws in the world.


Does anyone know what country I am referring to???

If you guess correctly and you support gun control, you must then explain to me how gun control is effective.

Not looking for emotions or theories here. Just statistical facts.

Here's another one. HOT BREAK INs defined, robberies committed with someone actually at home while the perpetrators ransack the house terrorizing all within.

This country 45% of home robberies are HOT BREAK ins


versus this country - the USA with 13% as HOT BREAK ins.

What country = 45% Hot BREAK INs?

Pssst. It's not the guns they want to control, it's the PEOPLE.

Gun control works well in Detroit, Chicago, and DC.
