Here is a look at three island polities that are under U.S. Jurisdiction that have implemented strict controls on gun purchases and ownership. These islands must be reached by air travel, where the carry of firearms is highly regulated and restricted, or by ship...Three United States island polities with quite similar, strict, gun control laws. Two have murder rates more than 7 and 5 times greater than the United States average; one has a murder rate one third as great as the United States average.
Conclusion is that gun-control laws have no effect whatever on murder rates. The "easy access to guns" argument is proven false.
One has to conclude that the motivation for seeking these laws have little to do with solving any problem. If such were the case, these statistics would be persuasive to policy makers so as to avoid gun-control laws for the simple fact that they do not work.
