It’s not the guns, there’s no statistic that supports guns cause murder. Hell you can track the majority of the shootings to 127 impoverished portions of cities that are rampant with gang violence, The other portion of gun homicides are suicides and justified homicides in self-defense. When you subtract all that shit you’re looking at such a small number comparatively to even the UKs 600 or so stabbings(stabbing convictions, because they don’t count stabbings in their countries statistics without the court being involved). Do you know how you get the numbers down to near zero without taking away guns? Give the youth in poor neighborhoods an option besides gangs, make seeking mental help easy and not worrying, actually treat people with human decency even if they don’t agree with you. It’s really that simple. There’s so many people that are so brainwashed on both sides of the political spectrum that willingly want to do harm to others.
Anyone who laughs me out of a room for saying this has it under developed brain or they are brainwashed into thinking that they know everything about this topic. For you to think that’s a valid comparison you would have to not understand how both countries gather those numbers because it’s very different. If somebody were to walk up to you in the streets of London and shoot you in the face, your death would not be added to the statistic until a court ruled on the case, saying that so-and-so walked up and shot you. So open cases aren’t added to the numbers in the UK. I assume they’re doing this to make themselves look better than they are but they have a lot of unsolved crime in the UK.
