The ban made no difference for the majority of people. Nobody owned a gun. I dont know anyone who owns a gun and I never have.Our crime rate is not linked to our gun laws. It is linked to having 20,000 less cops on the beat.US - lots of guns = lots of deathNo you can get a link to how many murders were counted as murders in the UK because they only count the ones that end in a conviction in the courts as the document from the House of Commons clearly states
Yup... the Bobbies always get their man... or is that the Mounties? Never mind. Point being, they have a really, really low murder rate.
Yes..... again, they have always had a very low murder rate...except for that time when they were murdering Catholics.....but government murder does not interest you....so...
Britain has always had a low murder rate, including a low knife murder rate, a low club murder rate and a low bare hands murder rate.....and also a low gun murder rate. The problem you guys have is that their gun crime rate, where guns are used to injure, not kill, to rape, and rob....is going up.....and their violent crime rate against law abiding people is going through the roof.....which according to you is not supposed to happen after you ban and confiscate guns.
UK - few guns = lot less death
We are not unique. The whole fucking civilised world controls guns and has less death than the US. It really isnt complicated.
We have diverse communites.
We have angry people.
We have poverty.
We have drug problems
We have inequality
We have mental illness
We have violent computer games
All of these are blamed by gun nuts for gun crime.
And yet our gun crime is a fraction of yours.
How could gun control UK have less gun crime than the gun crazy US ? I just dont understand it .
Gun crime is going up in Britain. They have extreme gun control including gun banning and confiscation. Gun murder was always low in Britain, that did not change after the ban, therefore the ban did not create the low gun murder rate.
The UK is many times safer than the US because we dont have a gun culture, we dont have gun nuts, gun nuts do not own our politicians and we are not tied to a medieval constitution which guarentees our rights to kill our neighbours over any tiny dispute.
