re gun control was re we re mad as hell at the tv news in article c tm h ecf magpie linknet com manes magpie linknet com steve manes writes for chrissakes take out your calculator and work out the numbers here i ve preformatted them for you to make it easier handgun homicides population switzerland uk and then tell me again how switzerland is safer with a more liberal handgun law than the uk is without by rate or total number your choice please pay attention i and others were referring to total homicide deaths not just handgun homicides in terms of how likely are you to be killed regardless of how it s done cause dead is dead the uk has a higher homicide rate period you are more likely to be killed in the uk than in switzerland if you were to be murdered with a handgun then yes switzerland has a higher rate but to belabor the point you are more likely to be murdered in the uk in that sense the weapon is irrelevant the uk is more violent period al standard disclaimer
