    Some Hispanics are White, many are brown. The indigenous population in Latin America is not really truly "Hispanic".

    Of course it "works". The question is how effective is it actually? Will it reduce the overall homicide rate by 90% or 1% ?

    The problem when you start comparing between different countries across the world is that there are many other confounding factors.
    As you admit yourself, being a "developed" or "developing" country is one big such factor, otherwise you would not limit your comparison to only developed countries.

    The problem is, many of these factors happen to be correlated to other factors.
    All the "developed" countries in the world happen to be White English-speaking, Western European, or Northeast Asian. (Singapore also falls into that category because it is ethnic Chinese).
    So we don't really have a good control to look only at a single factor.

    Didn't Australia already try this and it didn't seem to make much difference?

    Why does North Dakota have a lower gun homicide rate than the province of Alberta to the North?
    Isn't North Dakota in the U.S. and Alberta in Canada?
    North Dakota's homicide rate in 2017 was 1.3 and that includes ALL homicides, both committed with a gun and not.

    Canada has been rapidly increasing in diversity level in recent years.

    Maybe that explains the increasing rise in illegal guns and gangs?

    It might have sounded ridiculous only 10 years ago, but in recent years cities in Canada out in the middle of nowhere have been rapidly diversifying.

    And as I am Hispanic or Latino if you will,
    Hispanic is not necessarily WHITE, a Hispanic can be White, or Black or Mulatto or
    Indio.... or a mix of all.
