Norway only has about 4.5 million people in it.
The State of Colorado has over 5 million people in it.
The crime rates of Norway and Colorado are comparable.
The
Norway crime rate for 2009 is 3 murders per 100,000 people.
The
Colorado crime rate for 2009 is 3.5 murders per 100,000 people.
Norway's gun laws are far stricter than Colorado's.
Proving that gun control has absolutely no effect on crime whatsoever.
Now, if we compare a state with a much higher population, like say California.
The murder rate for 2009 is 5.3 per 100,000, and California has far stricter gun-laws than does Colorado.
And Lousiana is the worst state at 11.0 murders per 100,000 people.
If we're going to compare stats, let's do it with some measure of comparability.
