People like to point out countries such as the UK and Australia and about how such countries have a low crime rate and are very restrictive with guns and that its because of having heavy gun restrictions that's why they have a low crime rate. First of all Im not sure if the UK and Australia do have particularly low crime rates. Supposedly you're more likely to be mugged in London than in Harlem. Second of all, if more gun control did a good job at lowering crime than Mexico would be practically crime free and Mexico has a very high violent crime rate much higher than the USA. Mexico also has very restrictive gun control, perhaps more restrictive than Australia. Most handguns are banned in Mexico and in the entire country there is only one gun shop and its ran by the government. So with Mexico's crime epidemic that goes to show that gun control does not work in reducing crime.
