It's easy. The statistics you are using are wrong.   

Please then explain why Texas is having more rapes than other states while having 83% of whites (which is extremely high) and one of the highest gun concentration in USA.

Here are some more unrelated statistics which you can have fun with.

Obviously all of the above is caused by Texas having more pet tigers than other states.

Let's get real, please.

Absolutely it would have changed things.

Cause you think it would have changed ANYTHING to have a gun country....

Exactly. More than 1,000 cases of sexual assault were reported from various German cities (especially from Cologne and Hamburg) during the new years eve. More than 1,000 assaults in a 24-hour period! And that is just the tip of the iceberg, as most of the crimes are not reported. According to the latest reports, Arab immigrants are arriving in Greece at a rate of around 5,000 per day.

Sexual assault is one of the most under reported crimes, with 68% still being left unreported.
Those rapists, of course, will never spend a day in prison. But even when the crime is reported, it is unlike to lead to an arrest and prosecution. Factoring in unreported rapes, only about 2% of rapists will ever serve a day in prison.

I'm kind of thinking this matter should be personified.

It's Mr. Gun, my friend.

And Mr. Gun is a dire threat, if he is a friend of the fiend.

But if Mr. Gun is a friend to us all, then, well.  Maybe things will be civil.

Gun is a perfect deterrent.
So,  i think guns are necessary.
If laws prevent your right to obtain gun, one rober who obtained gun illegaly will rob you or worse, kill you for some of money.
Just laws should strictly keep under control guns.
Thats all guys

Because social conditions can, at times, change very rapidly.  Historically there are many cases of this.  Currently, the huge influx of "refugees" is such a condition.

The United States’ Federal Bureau of Investigation adds up all the dead bodies that are reported to it and says that – for 2011 – there were 14,412 homicides of which 12,664 were murders among 311,591,917 Americans for a murder rate of 4.06 per 100,000.

...

murders that have not been solved are not included [in England's government's crime stats]. If indications in the Telegraph are correct, that would substantially reduce the homicide rate in itself. Murders that have resulted in an arrest but no conviction are not counted. Convictions that have not been appealed are apparently not counted. And the number of minorities reported as murder victims is far below either the demographics or of reason.

If the media reports of a total of 4,760 “violent fatalities of interest to the police” from 1 January 2011 to 30 November 2012 are correct, the murder rate is 4.7 per 100,000 population, the same as our much more inclusive homicide rate, and substantially higher than the United States murder rate.

Of course, the British murder rate is likely to be much higher than 4.7. British police are notorious for “fiddling” with the crime data. Including murder data. It takes less effort to fail to report a crime to the media than it does to consistently report crimes.

If everything is taken into account, England most probably has a murder rate close to 6 per 100,000. Or more.

And why should we allow gun in countries like France, UK, Belgium... Where there is less violent crimes and less rapes?

Not saying the American crime rates is due to guns, but the monthly massing shooting maybe a little no?

The American crime rates have nothing to do with gun ownership. Historically, crime rates in the United States have been higher than those in the European Union or Japan, due to various factors. Those with a gun can protect themselves from the criminals, and those who doesn't own one gets targeted very often. And I am sure that the country with the highest rate of violent rape (Sweden) is a gun-free nation.
