LOL You site shows that there is more crime in the US. You apparently can't read, The US is a very violent, crimed filled nation.BS total bulshit. You guys are funny.Yes they do in fact the UK as twice as many rapes as does the USIt's not true. Look at stats for countries with strict gun laws. They do not have high crime.It's not a lie. It is a logical fact.
If the U.S. government issued a ban on all civilian-owned firearms the law-abiding citizens would comply but the criminal element would not, thus leaving the law-abiding citizens at the mercy of armed criminals via the force of law.
While it's true that a percentage of ordinarily law-abiding citizens would ignore such a federal gun ban the actual number of those renegades would depend on the level of punishment associated with refusal to comply. The threat of a substantial prison sentence and a heavy fine would soften the resolve of the most committed "...my cold, dead fingers" adversary.
The only possible alternative to the compliant outcome of a gun ban, such as that which disarmed the civilian population of Australia, would be a full-scale armed rebellion. And the present-day American population is far to diverse, with far too few committed Second Amendment advocates, to bring off such an active resistance.
Sad, but it's true.
Twice as many assaults as the US
and 3 times more overall crimes per 1000 people
United Kingdom vs United States: Crime Facts and Stats
By your own site:
The US has 138 percent more murders by firearms than the UK.
The US has 82% more overall crime than the UK.
Eveything on the list is far more in the US than in the UK.
Then prove it.
Come up with the stats and refute the source I used
and overall crime is a count of the total number of crimes
Look at the crime per 1000 people figure because that is the crime RATE
you are 3 times more likely to be the victim of a crime in the UK
twice as likely to be raped and twice as likely to be assualted
Now why don't you go and learn what per capita means and get back to me
Countries Compared by Crime > Total crimes per 1000. International Statistics at NationMaster.com
All of those European countries listed as having more crime than the US: that is not a realistic perspective. Those must be very petty crimes. I've been to and lived in many of those countries: they are much safer than the US, which I have also lived in. I lived in Austria for 4 years and it is extremely more safe than the US. I lived in Vienna, a very large city, for 4 years and a woman can walk around Vienna at night alone and not be assaulted in any way. As far as violent crime is considered, the US is by far the leader in modern Western countries.
You do not understand what per capita means do you?
Look it up as I have neither the time nor inclination to educate you on the subject
