(Sorry Don , Rabbit tried that one straight from gun-nut weekly already , apparently they think Ireland and Jamaica are two countries where guns are completely banned)
You mean like how DC allowed people to keep guns in their homes, they just had to register them? But of course they didn't let anyone register them.

How many permits in Jamaica have been given out to ordinary people, tribesy?

And I believe Don is right; having an unlicensed gun in Jamaica = big jail time.

Ok, question time; do you really think requiring permits for guns in a country and not giving out any means that guns aren't banned or are you just being obtuse?

To the topic of homicides;

Most of them in the US involve people who are already criminals and involved in drugs, and often happen in cities with bans on guns (NYC, Washington DC [still, the laws haven't changed yet], Chicago).

Here, violence is removed from ordinary people's lives. One girl I know expressed shock at seeing someone getting stabbed in a big city (DC, FWIW), because violence is not part of most Americans lives.

Also, every homicide in America is counted, while numbers in some countries like England are not counted if the murderer was charged with manslaughter or something less.
