According to sites that I don't think are very reputable (hence no links), there are about 50 gun deaths in the U.K. every year and 30,000 in the U.S. Those stats could be wrong, but I can't find any good links.
Maybe our crime rate is so much higher becaise of a-holes like this. |
Why are you so focused on gun related DEATH, and could care less about gun related CRIMES? I felt the need to capitalize death and crimes cause you apparently have been missing it. I don't recall, and I don't feel like reading through my posts, but I thought I said of course the deaths here would be higher since they have much stricter gun laws, but gun crimes have gone up considerably and that has already been proven.
So is it safe to assume you could care less about robberies, and muggings and anything related to people using guns in relation to crimes??? Cause I thought the whole point of gun control is to stop gun related CRIMES, not just gun related DEATHS?
To me, it's much more important to stop ALL gun related crimes. Stopping gun related deaths is just a part of stopping all gun related crimes. However, no person here has come up with any good solution to stopping the gun related crimes, just a lot of speculation, and it's clear that getting the guns out of the hands of the innocent is a bad idea and it INCREASES gun related crime. So if you can come up with a solution to stop gun related crimes, I'm all ears.
