According to Newsweek, "In 2018, the homicide rate in Mexico hit a record high of 35,964, spiking 12 percent from the year before, according to the country's National Institute of Statistics and Geography. Of those murders, at least 20,005 were carried out with guns." And the murders continued to rise at the time this article was written.
The numbers are similar or worse in other countries south of our border. And much worse in parts of Africa.
Are all those numbers, which are way worse than in the U.S., a result of the weapons (mostly guns)?
With 393 million guns owned by U.S. citizens, you'd think that those guns would be killing a way lot more people than they do.
Maybe most of the guns don't want to kill anybody?
We should outlaw the guns that want to kill people.
