  > this is exactly what above comment talks about. You are picking the country that fits that narrative but forget about all of the rest. Try Europe.

    What about Europe? Guns are allowed, although strictly regulated, and there're very few homicides.

      He's saying that Europe has strict gun control laws and thus less homicides

        But it's not that strict. Not ex-convict, no mental issues history - bam you can buy a gun. What gun you can buy is different story. Anything more powerful than a pistol or hunting riffle is more or less no-go.
