@xianc78 hey this actually got me thinking - if western and northern europe industrialized significantly sooner, and common gun ownership was introduced there long before other areas of the world, wouldn't you expect a certain natural eugenic process to have taken place relating to criminality (i.e. criminal tries to commit murder -> gets shot, doesn't pass on genes which predispose toward criminal action)?

@xianc78 I don't think it just has to do with the legality of guns
@beardalaxy @xianc78
Tend to agree. There are lots of differences between Honduras and Switzerland. If Honduras adopted Switzerland's gun laws you wouldn't immediately stop having all the murder.
