Nope I haven't… Been all over Germany and Poland, also incidentally to Romania and Ireland in a very limited fashion. But I did eventually find an answer to my own question…
an estimated 1.4 million in 33,000 gangs in 2011.[1][2][3] About 900,000 gang members lived "within local communities across the country", and about 147,000 were in U.S. prisons or jails in 2009.[4]
Which translates to about… 42 per 10000 people are in a gang here in USA…
So a 5-6times increase in homicide lines up basically perfectly.
Edit: whoops used the wrong number initially… it's much higher…
What does the evidence say? I’d bet that taking guns away leads to less gun deaths.
Not shit sherlock. But taking guns away doesn't lower homicide rates. Odd that you can reduce gun deaths but not reduce deaths overall isn't it?.. At this point we're talking in circles. I've covered this so many posts ago with you.
It’s weird that nobody banged on about gun rights until the black panthers did.
Never been to Glasgow then?

So you think having more guns is the solution?
Taking them away certainly isn't… Criminals don't care about laws… That's kind of the definition.
It's the American way, only do the right thing after you've exhausted every other option
I'm not tracking. You think that taking guns away will somehow make the 1.4 million people abstain from gang violence?

Not sure how this is even remotely relevant.
