And yet the stats disprove that. You are not safer and you are being slaughtered on an industrial scale.Only your stupidity prevents you from seeing this bozo.We are still many times safer than the US. You have seen the stats many times and know that its true. Not just the UK, all of the civilised world. Guns do not make you safe.If guns make you safe why is the US the most dangerous country in the civilised world ?Ok, I'll play the "devil's advocate."
Europeans with guns? That sounds scary. Shit, we already had to deal with armed Europeans in WW1 and WW2.
The civilians were unarmed...had there been millions of armed Citizens in each country, the Germans could never have held the territory....ask the Swiss....
It's not....Britain is more violent than the U.S. by any measure. Britain is becoming more violent while our crime rates are going down, and your police just stated they can't stop the increasing flow of illegal guns into your island nation....
Meanwhile, over the last 26 years as more Americans have owned and actually carried guns for self defense...our gun murder rate dropped 49%.....
Please explain how that is possible.
Our gun crime rate has dropped 75%.....75%. Please explain how that is possible.
Our violent crime rate has dropped 72%, please explain how that is possible..while your violent crime rates are at 95% increase in some areas of England and Wales....
Your theory can't explain this.....ours does.....
Over 400 Americans have been shot and killed already this year. Its mental.
You are by no means "safe", as the necessary tools for your own self-protection have been snatched away from you.
Al you can do when your life is threatened is run away, hide, or scream in terror while hoping the police show up in time to prevent you from being killed. But they seldom ever do. All they can do is mop up the blood, draw a chalk-line around your body, haul your room-temperature carcass off to the morgue, and hope to solve the crime.
We on the other hand, are proactive. Granted there are shootings in the large urban areas, mostly by minorities and mostly with stolen or illegally-purchased firearms. But any sane person in this country has armed and trained themselves sufficiently to not be the victim you have the potential to become.
