Well the homicide rate went up in Austrilia and the UK when they confiscated guns so...
The problem is people pretend 'gun homicide rate' is the 'homicide rate.' Thus, if you take guns, and people switch to knives, just show the gun corpses instead of the total corpses. Then wow, it looks like we're so wonderful even though the smell of burnt corpses gets bigger. Dumb city liberals then think their amazing while gangs continue to shoot up each other for weed and crack territory.
Aka, it likely is correlated, but in the opposite direction, but to the average urbanite, that doesn't matter because bang machines scary.
Except I specifically said "homicide rate", not "gun homicide rate". Specifically because once you cite gun deaths the immediate rebuttal is "well if you ban guns then knife murders go up!"
As it stands Australia and the UK still have massively lower all-cause homicide rates than we do.
