I don’t know about school shootings, but guns are banned in Puerto Rico and the island has 4 times the homicide rate of the US and 6 times the homicide rate of India. Pakistan has way more guns than most Latin American countries but much lower homicide rates.

Pop quiz: from the chart of homicide rates in the UK, tell me when the major gun control legislation happened.
