4 shot, including 16 year old girl, at party in Manchester, England.....but....gun control?

If we're safer, how come we have way more gun violence?
Because you have a way to defend yourself from said violence which would occur with or without guns but with guns you have the ability to defend yourself by leveling the playing field. That's how we are safer.

The death rate from violent crimes where the assailant used a gun is ~3 per 100,000 people. If you excludes blacks (who skew the numbers) it drops down to less than 2 per 100,000 people.

Is less than 2 per 100,000 people what you would consider way more?

Using your logic we should ban black people, Joe.

inner city gangs is the biggest reason .. and with cops demoralized and stepping down and dem cities defunding the police dems now want law abiding citizens to be unarmed as crime skyrockets because of their policies ! aint happening .

Using your logic and the data from the FBI we should ban blacks, right, so we can be safer.

Because the democrat party keeps releasing repeat gun offenders......if they would stop doing that, our gun crime rate would drop by about 95%......a tiny number of criminals in democrat party controlled cities are committing 95% of the gun crime.....they have been arrested over and over again, released on bond, arrested again, jailed, then released on short sentences...and they are the ones doing all of the shooting.....

Case in point.....and this isn't the exception it is the rule...

A man who was on probation for burglary and on bond for allegedly being a felon in possession of a firearm shot two victims in separate robberies less than an hour apart earlier this month, prosecutors said Sunday. Jerome Powell, 23, is now the 31st person accused of killing, trying to kill, or shooting someone in Chicago this year while awaiting trial for another felony.




As my other post shows....the Pew research.....it isn't normal Americans who own and carry guns doing the shooting and crime.......

Over the last 27 years, 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 19.4 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2019...guess what happened...

New Concealed Carry Report For 2020: 19.48 Million Permit Holders, 820,000 More Than Last Year despite many states shutting down issuing permits because of the Coronavirus - Crime Prevention Research Center


-- 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.


This means that access to guns does not create gun crime........allowing repeat gun offenders out of jail and prison, increases the gun crime rate....as does attacking the police and defunding them....
 
If the thing they are trying to get a grip on is killing tons of people every week, yes, because you'd have less fear of getting shot going to the store...


In almost all of America there is no fear......the fear is located in tiny areas of democrat party controlled cities where the democrat party prosecutors, judges and politicians release violent gun offenders over and over again........

In America...

If you are not a criminal,

If you are not the family member of a criminal,

If you are not a friend of a criminal

If you are not the associate of a criminal

If you don't live in a democrat party controlled voting district...

Your chances of being involved in a shooting are almost zero......but you get to own and carry a gun to stop rape, stabbings, beatings, robberies and murders.....

Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year to stop these crimes...according to the centers for disease control...

Gun crime has increased by 4% in one year with more than 9,700 crimes involving firearms taking place in the UK.

Figures from the Office for National Statistics reveal that in the year ending March 2019 a total of 9,787 crimes involving guns took place.


Over the past five years, offences involving a firearm have also increased by 27%.

Hmmmm...

Four men have been found guilty of the revenge killing of a shop worker who was shot dead in a case of mistaken identity.
Kwasi Mensah-Ababio was "simply in the wrong place at the wrong time" as he sat on a park bench in Wembley, north-west London, the Old Bailey had heard. He was shot in the head at close range.


Three people have been charged after an “innocent bystander” was shot in Hackney in November 2020.

The charges range from attempted murder, to grievous bodily harm to possession of a firearm.

The victim, a 32-year-old woman, who has not been publicly named,
