    Doesn’t matter. UK proved that you can’t stop all gun related deaths.

    So it’s all or nothing? 🤡

    1/620

    0.16%

    Even accounting for population it’s still blatantly obvious to anyone with half a brain that guns = shooting

    And the US knife killing rate is still higher than the US. Just a bit more murdery I suppose. But then us Europeans shipped all the religious nutters out to the US for a reason

      Ah yes… cherry pick the statement.

      And even accounting for that UK overall homicide rate hasn’t decreased any faster than any other “western” country INCLUDING the USA.

      Literally followed right after. Clown harder.

          Lol, the US homicide rate is 7x the UK. Explain that

          Sure… Gangs and drug trafficking.

          Specifically from Central and South Americas. The SHEER number difference between the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS vs how many you got over there in the UK?

              Never been to Glasgow then?

              Nope I haven’t… Been all over Germany and Poland, also incidentally to Romania and Ireland in a very limited fashion. But I did eventually find an answer to my own question…

              https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gangs_in_the_United_Kingdom

              In 2018 there were 4,629 criminal gangs and syndicates in Britain, employing 33,598 professional gangsters.

              Which translates to about 5 per 10000 people are in a gang in Britain…

              https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_population

              an estimated 1.4 million in 33,000 gangs in 2011.[1][2][3] About 900,000 gang members lived “within local communities across the country”, and about 147,000 were in U.S. prisons or jails in 2009.[4]

              Which translates to about… 42 per 10000 people are in a gang here in USA…

              So a 5-6times increase in homicide lines up basically perfectly.

              Edit: whoops used the wrong number initially… it’s much higher…
