"Homicide rates tend to be related to firearm ownership levels.
Everything else being equal, a reduction in the percentage of
households owning firearms should occasion a drop in the homicide
rate".
Evidence to the Cullen Inquiry 1996: Thomas Gabor, Professor of
Criminology - University of Ottawa
"The level of gun ownership world-wide is directly related to murder
and suicide rates and specifically to the level of death by gunfire."
International Correlation between gun ownership and rates of homicide
and suicide.' Professor Martin Killias, May 1993.
Guns and Suicide
Data on suicide and firearms from other countries can be viewed as a
warning to us in the UK of some of the effects of firearm possession.
Most articles show that the storage of a firearm in the home predicts
an increased rate of a violent death. The articles have been
referenced so that those interested can obtain further information.
Firearms Incidents
Behind all the statistics are the actual incidents that result in the
suffering of innocent people and animals. These lists reveal the
consequence of the continued misuse of firearms.
Massacres and Legally-Held Firearms
Worldwide, the majority of recent shooting massacres have been
committed with legally-held weapons.
