You are deflecting. All of Europe is safer than the US. Why is that ? We are not as heavily armed as you are.You can rank the table by gun homicides per capita.
Obviously Honduras and various third world places top the chart. The US isnt in the top 20 coming in at 3.2%
Way down the list, amongst all the countries of "falling apart Europe" comes the UK on 0.07%
In the period under review there were 41 gun murders in the UK all year. That is a horrific figure but in the US its really just a saturday night.
That you gun nuts are even trying to debate this shows how deluded that you are.
The OP is not under dispute. All of Europe is safer than gun crazy America.
Yes the OP is under dispute. And this article destroys it.
Comparing murder rates and gun ownership across countries - Crime Prevention Research Center
You don't even need that article to destroy your OP article. The article merely is counting guns per country. And then you're comparing it with strictly GUN Crime. And then YOU are cherry picking the countries that only help your point, while ignoring the ones that blatantly go against your point. There is no correlation, and its proved by your own article. On top of that you article isnt comparing crime rates over time, or crime rates without gun control vs with gun control in those countries. Again in Switzerland you are issued a full auto assault rifle (if you choose to keep it) and it's the safest place on earth. And on the other hand countries with the strictest gun laws are also some of the most dangerous places on earth (look at our southern neighbor). So where's the correlation??? Here's the facts, England is a freaking island, that does not have constant drug and cartel wars raging in our cities and across our boarders. Since they've instituted their gun ban, their gun crime had doubled in a decade. If we were to cease our governments war on drugs, the crime rate in America practically evaporates.
In EVERY single instance of a country enacted gun control, the murder rates (as well as crime rates) in that country go up. EVERY SINGLE INSTANT. Look it up yourself if you do not believe me.

and most of us don't live in shit hole cities where gangs run rampant.take away gun violence by the gangs and the US is probably one of the safest places on the planet......
You all drink a lot of gin to not shoot each other?and most of us don't live in shit hole cities where gangs run rampant.take away gun violence by the gangs and the US is probably one of the safest places on the planet......

Well, if that works for you.
Yeah, they are: they kill, too. Considering that a Brit has 8 to 12% chance of being hurt by a gun than American, one knows your statement is staring at you.the gun nuts cannot get around the fact that the Brits are much safer than American when it comes to gun violence.
not really.
our murder rate is skewed by an extremely small percentage of the population and most of those murders are committed by people with criminal records already who buy illegal guns
people who buy own and carry guns legally are not the problem
Yeah, they are: they kill, too.the gun nuts cannot get around the fact that the Brits are much safer than American when it comes to gun violence.
not really.

Gun ownership around the world, mapped
Who would have thought that everybody having a gun would affect the murder rate ?
The US is cracking up.
tu quoque much?Yeah, they are: they kill, too.the gun nuts cannot get around the fact that the Brits are much safer than American when it comes to gun violence.
not really.
our murder rate is skewed by an extremely small percentage of the population and most of those murders are committed by people with criminal records already who buy illegal guns

not at the same rate
and fyi people kill each other in Europe too
and here's a neat fact
people have been killing other people ever since there have been people on the planet and people will always kill other people it's one of those things you cannot deny
Says the master racist.Gun ownership around the world, mapped
Who would have thought that everybody having a gun would affect the murder rate ?

You refusal to look at where the violence is inside of the US, is you being racist.
Maybe we will see murders nearing American rates one day.my son just came back from living a couple of years in your country timmy....the citizens he was talking to were saying England overall is seeing much more violence......Yup, discount all the deaths caused by..................Americans !!take away gun violence by the gangs and the US is probably one of the safest places on the planet......
All of Europe is safer. Every fucking country in Europe is safer. Whatever their gun laws. Because gun ownership is much lower than in America. And not just a bit safer. Safer by miles you stat spewing cretin.Yup, discount all the deaths caused by..................Americans !!take away gun violence by the gangs and the US is probably one of the safest places on the planet......
No...by criminals who are already legally barred from buying,owning or carrying guns.....and you banned guns and your gun murder rate did not change.....and in fact...your gun crime rate in London went up 42%......
And your kids...are knifing each other ....and soon they will be using guns.....since you can't keep them from getting the,....
no hypocrisy in that factual statementtu quoque much?Yeah, they are: they kill, too.the gun nuts cannot get around the fact that the Brits are much safer than American when it comes to gun violence.

oh I see and guns are the only way people kill each other and I find it interesting that where I grew up most people I have ever known owned at least one gun not one person I know has ever shot anyone else or do I know anyone within about 6 degrees of separation that has ever shot anyone or been shot by anyoneYeah, they are: they kill, too.

No it's not. Not even close.
You have highest rate of domestic violence murders, the highest rate of suicide by gun, the highest rate of accidental shootings, and the highest rate of killings by police.
Not to mention that no country comes close to number of mass shootings in schools or other public facilities.
Americans are quick to say it's all gang violence but far more murders are committed by whites than inner city gangs.
the gun nuts cannot get around the fact that the Brits are much safer than American when it comes to gun violence.
Considering that a Brit has 8 to 12% chance of being hurt by a gun than American, one knows your statement is staring at you.You have no point. USA is more dangerous from gun violence statistically than the UK.
That must sound really foolish even to you!
11000 suicides by firearms is not way down in anyone's sane world.
In a country of 330,000,000, yeah, 11,000 is a trivial number.
You are deflecting. All of Europe is safer than the US. Why is that ? We are not as heavily armed as you are.You can rank the table by gun homicides per capita.
Obviously Honduras and various third world places top the chart. The US isnt in the top 20 coming in at 3.2%

There may be other minor factors but in general family rows in civilised Europe dont end in a body count and neither do our toddlers outkill terrorists. Every European country has a lower gun murder rate than the US. Every fucking one.
