So you can argue that homicide rates remain the same, but you can't argue that they haven't had any mass killings in 19 years unlike us. No one is shooting up schools or movie theaters. And it's probably safe to say that children aren't getting hold of guns on a regular basis either.I'm certain that makes a huge difference to the people who lost loved ones. They probably have support groups where they drink coffee, eat donuts and give thanks that their loved ones weren't murdered in a mass killing but rather a more civilized murder.
