A student of statistics — my son — was surprised by his regression analysis of gun ownership per capita in each nation versus homicides. There was just about no correlation between number of guns and number of gun homicides. gregpalast.com/florida-hondur…

I've just returned from the nation with the widest gun ownership in the world, Switzerland, which has vanishingly few homicides — although almost all men 18-35, due to ancient military tradition, must keep weapons in their home (many fully automatic). #ParklandShooting
The nation with the same population as Switzerland, Honduras, has the world’s highest homicide rate — even though Honduras outlaws personal gun ownership. gregpalast.com/florida-hondur… #ParklandShooting #FloridaShooting
So if the rate of gun ownership doesn't correlate with a nation's homicide rate, what does? Homicides versus the "GINI" coefficient — GINI being the measure of income inequality in a nation. Want to end gun violence? End violent inequality. gregpalast.com/florida-hondur…
