Source?More guns equals more gun violence.Recognizing that your own crime rate is higher than the USA's - does it matter whether the American victims were killed by a gun? Does it make an individual any "less dead" to have been killed with a knife, an ice pick, a machete, a baseball bat, etc? No. It does not.
Wyoming and Alaska have both high levels of guns and gun violence.
Massachussets and California have low levels of both guns and gun violence
The UK has almost zero guns and therefore almost zero gun violence
Yet you have a higher crime rate (without guns). How do you explain that? Does it not prove the point that guns do not kill people but rather people kill people? Does it not prove that it has made your society "less safe" and more vulnerable to an increase in crimes of rape, murder, etc? Do you understand that gun ownership in America is responsible for "preventing crimes" - home invasions, rapes, murders,robberies - yes, owning guns has been a deterrent to the would be criminal! Think about it.
And give me a good source, not your fox news or Bierbart or shit like that. Give me something reputable like the Guardian or BBC
How about the Telegraph? It's your own news. Here you go:
UK is violent crime capital of Europe - Telegraph
Doesn;t change the fact that the USA has more DEATHS by gun versus simple muggings.
Rape lasts a minute. Death by bullet is forever. And the US has WAY more gun DEATHS
Simple muggings are not so simple in the USA because Americans have concealed carry permits. As for the description of "simple muggings that result in murder"? I can understand why you would use such terminology. It is very simple for the criminals in the UK to mug and murder because the victim doesn't have a gun. Which is why your own Telegraph News reports that the UK is the crime capitol of Europe. That is quite a record and it is a sad report on what happens when a society is disarmed and unable to protect themselves. Very sad indeed.
Thank you for the dialogue. Good night.
