You keep claiming firearms cause MORE murder more violence yet in the States that is FLATLY proven wrong since the number of firearms went UP and crime went DOWN dumb ass.It wasn't the same as here...since their culture didn't create criminals that commit murder. Now....their welfare culture can no longer civilize their young males...their violent crime rate is going through the roof and gun crime in London is up 42%....
While in the United States?
We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 16.3 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...
-- gun murder down 49%
--gun crime down 75%
--violent crime down 72%
Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware
Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

So is your contention that the reduction in crime rate is completely, or even mostly the result of more guns? What a goof.
The amount of guns is only one factor in the crime rate.
No....the gun crime rate is what we are discussing here...and in london it went up 42% just last year and is up all over Britain.....after they banned and confiscated guns....the exact opposite of what we did here...and our gun crime rate went down 75%...our gun murder rate went down 49%.....
Still just 0.23 gun deaths per 100,000 people. You can't whine your way past that.
Moron.....what part of the truth do you just not understand.
They had a low gun crime rate before they banned and confiscated guns.....they had a low gun murder rate before they banned and confiscated guns...
Now....their gun crime rate is going up...and their gun murder rate did not go down, it in fact went up.........so keeping law abiding people from owning and carrying guns did not lower their gun crime rate......what part of that fact is just to big for your little brain?
