Gun Control is Completely Useless.

crime rate = crimes per unit of people(100,00)
given that the unit of people is a constant value(100,000)
we can say that the crime rate is directly proportional to the number of crimes.
rephrased, this mean that the change in crime is proportional to the change in crime rate.
you wrote "which one must show the greatest reduction when even the smallest reduction happens?"
my answer is: when the smallest reduction happens(ie 1 crime) then the 200 per capita rate changes by .5% and the 25 per capita rate changes by 4% so a direct answer to you question is: the 25 per capita rate must show the greatest change when even.
However, lets see if this is what happened...
In Canada, we went from a homicide rate of 3 per 100,000 to 1.5 per 100,000. Our change in rate was 50%.
Homicide in Canada, 2011
In the USA, they went from 7.0 per 100,00 to 3.6 per 100,000. Their change in rate was 48.5%.

So, in a review of Canada,USA comparison, which one is the "smallest reduction"? The Canadian reduction of 1.5 homicides. Did the US experience the same reduction? No, is experienced a reduction that was 2.6 times greater than Canada.
Yes, but every bullet stopped results in a greater change of rates, if you compare the 1.5 reduction of rate with the 3.4 reduction of rate you will find that they both represent about a 50% change in rate ( 50%Canadian, and 48%American)
Sooooooooooooooooo.......
both countries experienced about the SAME rate of change. Canada with strict gun laws, and the USA with unrestricted gun laws.
So, I ask you the same question. Where is the evidence that Canada's gun control laws made a difference?
Good Gawd man,....You're just confusing the poor gal with facts and that's a no no with the anti gun crowd...:lol:
Completely useless.
Or like Colpy said if by gun control you mean the kind of gun control they like then no, but if you mean the kind they don't like then yes, zero gun control. It's completely useless. Depends on your definition of completely.
No need to bring him into this.
Wow, right to making things up.
So liar can be added to whiny, lolz.
And so, is Canada supposed to adopt the US's freedom to bear arms laws?? I reiterate once more, I am not against guns, I am against changing Canada's laws regulating control over the conditions on those who may own and use a gun.
