It's a pity the anti gun thread was vatted (why?) - but I thought people might be interested to know that in Singapore it is illegal to own a gun (unless you join a club), and consequently there is practically no gun crime. What guns that do exist are kept at the gun clubs, and not the owners homes. Mind you every male citizen must do 3 years national service, and they use the SAR 21.
Now if you did happen to get you hands on a gun and use it in any form of crime in Singapore - the penalty is the death sentence. So the gangsters generally stick to choppers and knifes. Singapore is a country that encourages those individuals who love firearms to join the appropriate clubs, and shoot clay pigeons or targets - just like the Olympic.
Crime Statistics > Gun violence > Homicides > Firearm homicide rate > per 100,000 pop. (most recent) by country.
# 1 South Africa: 74.5748..........
# 2 Colombia: 51.7683
# 3 Thailand: 33.0016
# 4 Guatemala: 18.5
# 5 Paraguay: 7.3508
# 6 Zimbabwe: 4.746
# 7 Mexico: 3.6622
# 8 United States: 3.6 ............
# 9 Belarus: 3.31
# 30 New Zealand: 0.1827
# 31 Chile: 0.1776
# 32 Singapore: 0.0249 ...........
So South Africa is practically a free for all shooting range...in comparison, the USA isn't too bad.
