Therefore the burglar takes a gun anyway, which means you are more likely to be shoot dead. The murder rates for the USA and England are quite telling you know…
In 1976 the murder rate per 100,000 in the U.S. was 9.1, but in England and Wales 1.1.
Also in 1981 62.4 % of mureders in the U.S.A were committed with guns.
It seems the less guns you have, the less murders you get.
