And when they outlawed gun ownership, crime skyrocketed. They allowed themselves to be taken in by the semingly innocuous socialism.

Yes, we are nation of individuals. And damn proud of it.

Firstly, gun ownership wasn't banned. There were some heavy restrictions introduced after a massacre in the late 90's. The fact is we have never had gun ownership laws like the US, gun ownership is rare in this country, we just don't have the same gun culture, never had. I've never met anyone who owned a gun who wasn't a farmer.

The homicide rate has been declining overall for the past 30 or so years. It has its good and bad years, some hiccups, but looking at it overall, gun laws have made no difference and given the lack of gun ownership in the first place, I wouldn't expect them too.

You shouldn't believe everything the NRA says. They are the gun lobby group after all.
