US seems to talk tough but so precious little to change the fact that homicides continue to increase here year after year...
Europe on the other hand has dropped their rate by almost 2/3 in under 25 years.
The US should use them as a model to do the same instead of of whatever they are doing now because it simply isn't working.
In the UK, it's been extremely low the entire time. I know part of it is that even police don't carry guns there and gun ownership is non existant among citizens. That will never fly in the US.
However, Switzerland has among the highest gun ownership rates per capita n the world and they have none of the issues that the US has with killings and fun violence. Why? Because it's a source of national pride for them and children and raised very early on to respect them and are trained on the proper use of guns.
The UK homicide rate is about one-sixth of the rate in the U.S.
