I lived in a ''not good'' hood/etc ..I never needed a pistolfine fine fineYou do realize the vast majority violent criminal behavior in this country is in progressive controlled urban areas by repeat offenders… in The rest of America violent crime is almost nonexistent...it's just a plain, undeniable fact that the UK murder rate is much, much lower than the USUntrue. The UK has seen a 22% increase in knife crime and 11% rise in gun crime during 2017, even though firearms are impossible for most people to obtain.
Surge in knife and gun crime in England and Wales
The 11% increase is after an already 23% increase across England and Wales the year before ,and a 43% increase in London all by itself....an island that banned and confiscated guns has increasing gun crime.....we, on the other hand ...
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 17.25 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2018...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.
Progressivism is the incubator for a violent criminal behavior
whatever
the UK's murder rate is about FOUR times less
So how many times less are you able to defend your life and the lives of your family members against murder, should you live in the UK?
, however, I would like to get one for self defense
...anyway--France, Germany, and the UK have far lower murder rates--this is just the facts/truths
...you'll have to give stats on murder rates/self defense uses---necessary self defense uses/etc per country--can you provide those?
