British criminals have guns, they just don't shoot to kill each other...

[2aguy]

Here you have a case of two gunmen in Britain shooting a guy in the middle of a busy street...in a country that banned and confiscated guns......they shot him in the leg....not the chest or head...

In the U.S.....our criminals shoot to kill....

Britain has increasing gun crime, our gun crime has been going down......

Police hunting for two masked men after 44-year-old shot in Haydock street

There is currently a large police presence in the Haydock area after a man was shot.

Police were called to West End Road, close to the Owls Nest pub this afternoon.

In unconfirmed reports, witnesses said the man had been shot in the leg by masked gunmen.

Other reports said it was a drive-by shooting - as police confirmed a man had been rushed to hospital with serious injuries.

What does this have to do with the mass shootings in the US?

48 Gun homicides in the UK
11,000 gun homicides in the US.

Those Brits must be really crappy shots. We're talking Imperial Stormtrooper level bad shots.

Or maybe they just don't have as EASY access to guns.

Actually, many of you would be surprised with the level of crime in the UK. Yes, they are well behind in gun murder, but here are some quick numbers, including ones fear of crime being conducted against them.

Damn, cannot copy and paste, try and figure it out below, the link gives it all in easy detail, I will try and make bold/underline where the UK is worse than America. In short, the U.K have higher assault, rape, far higher drug use and yes, higher murder rates tan the USA, they just don't use the gun as often:

Naw, I can't get upset about that because in most of these cases, the definitions of a crime vary.

For instance, rape in the US has to involve penetration, while in the UK, it's just copping a feel.

The ONLY crime I look at is gun murder, and homicide overall, because that can be CLEARLY and unambiguously defined.

You got a dead body with a bullet hole in it, that's a gun homicide.

The US had 11,000, the UK had 48.

 

[JoeB131]

Also, most of the stats you posted, the US does worse than the UK.

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

When a liberal asks such a stupid question this comes to mind. They just are that fucking stupid.

Well based on your stats, the UK has a higher murder rate, according to WHO stats. They are ranked 83rd, the U.S 88th.

You would think it would be a massive difference, right? Again, it's not the gun, this has to be taken out of the lexicon everytime it is exploited after a tragedy.
