The argument that there are so many murders in the US, because there are so many guns looks not very convincing, if in the US 10% more households have guns, but the murder rate is 4 times as high. There must be some other reason than possession for that.

Maybe debunked was not exactly the right word (I'm always struggeling with the English language) but the argument seems very weak.

" In 2004, firearms were used to murder 11,344 people in the United States, compared with 184 in Canada and 73 in England. Why are murders from firearms so much lower in Canada and England?"

You weren't talking about semi-automatic weapons here.
So this sentence refers to concealed semi automatic weapons?
I can shoot you just as well will a colt that I carry openly.
