Default OT GUNS real world

Australia and Canada come to mind, both have far lower incidents of
gun homicide and both have tough gun laws.
Strangely enough both also have extensive social programs and have
had budget surpluses for the last ten years.


Mexico has some strong gun control laws and we know how low their rate
of gun homicide is.



Laws don't work if they are not enforced, nor will they work very well
when the income spread between rich and
poor is so wide.
