OP problem is that he uses a very short period of time to discuss UK numbers without context to the 24 year period of time he uses for the USA numbers.
In other words, OP has created a fallacy of false equivalency for analysis.
The OP is worthless.
Proof?and most of them are piece of shit criminals and gang bangersYep....when you outlaw guns only the outlaws will have them...as Britain keeps finding out....
Murder probe launched after teenage boy shot dead in east London
A murder investigation has been launched after a teenage boy was shot dead in east London.
Scotland Yard said a boy in his “mid-teens” was killed and another man in his early 20s was injured after the pair were shot in Newham on Friday night.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering a gunshot wound, police said. The other victim is not thought to have suffered life-threatening injuries, and it is not yet clear whether the two shootings are linked.
Terrified witnesses told how they heard gunshots being fired just before 11pm before police descended on the scene in North Woolwich.
One said: "I went to the area to get some Chinese. Whilst I was there I heard a couple of shots, sudden bangs.
"Suddenly there was a tonne of police cars and squad cars in the area, lots of blue lights. Spoke to my former neighbour, she said she heard the same thing as me... sounded like gun shots."
90 people are shot and killed over here everyday.
You haven't shown anything. You just say. And most importantly going back all the way to 1950's and not dwelling more on the in between time does not constitute a good argument on the development of the situation in both countries.OP problem is that he uses a very short period of time to discuss UK numbers without context to the 24 year period of time he uses for the USA numbers.

Well I went back 60 years to compare murder rates and have shown that both the US and the UK have current murder rates that are virtually the same as 1950
The UK passed draconian gun laws in the 60's we didn't yet our respective murder rates are what they were 60 years ago

You're a player, but not a very good one. I really don't care what the murder rate is for bloody old England because I don't live there. I certainly feel bad for their people needlessly losing their lives over there for sure but my primary concern is for the tens of thousands of people needlessly gunned down over here every year. The carnage is unacceptable and the cost to our society in terms of life saving medical care delievered through our nations trauma centers alone is unimaginable. And than there's the cost of tens of thousands of the severely wounded that do survive but require very expensive lifelong healthcare for as long as they live. And again, this is every single year. This is all on your dime chief. And my dime. I don't like it. How bout you chief? Do you like needlessly handing out all that free care on your dime?
You sure you wanna go there?Yep....when you outlaw guns only the outlaws will have them...as Britain keeps finding out....

for one "tens of thousands" are not "gunned down" every year

with a large percentage of that being people with criminal history

He scours the net for gun crime abroad and totally ignores the slaughter in his own back yard.The only little problem AS ALWAYS with jimbo's OP is that in America where we have so many states with incredibly loose laws on guns, 128 people were shot in the same time.
Since it is about 1/5 per capita ratio, the OP does not tell you that based on his single incident in the UK that you are more than 12 TIMES LIKELY to get shot here than there.
As do you and yours. The reality is if you compare the USA with Europe....ALL of Europe we actually have less overall crime, less violent crime, and the gun murder rate for Europe is rising as you get ever more third world refugees into your country who bring their culture and their violent ways with them. Think about this, two mass shootings in Europe, Norway and Paris, killed more people than all of our mass shootings COMBINED over the last 25 years.
So no, your gun control doesn't seem to work too well..
Not true. American crime statistics only reports "serious" crimes involving death or injury. Common assaults, involving fists, not guns, aren't reported. Unless a woman is raped, sexual assaults with no penetration aren't recorded in American sexual assault statistics.
Canadians and Europeans count every bar fight as an assault, every sexual assault is also counted, even if there was no rape. This gives the impression there is a lot more violent crime than in the US where common assaults aren't counted at all.
Someone asked me once why Canadian men commit so much rape compared to the US and the answer is they don't. But if you grab a woman's ass as you walk by her, and she reports it, it's considered a sexual assault in Canadian crime records. In the US, it wouldn't be counted.
If you'll keep throwing around those "statistics" about violence in UK before the law on guns was changed, offer some evidence. Your word isn't convincing and neither is a magazine article.The only little problem AS ALWAYS with jimbo's OP is that in America where we have so many states with incredibly loose laws on guns, 128 people were shot in the same time.
Since it is about 1/5 per capita ratio, the OP does not tell you that based on his single incident in the UK that you are more than 12 TIMES LIKELY to get shot here than there.
And what you refuse to understand....either because you are stupid...or, well, you are stupid.......is that the Uk banned guns in 1996.....so in order for your post to be intelligent...you would have to show that the level of gun crime in the Uk was higher before the ban...and decreased after the ban......and you can't....the level of gun crime in Britain before the ban was low.....very low.....they then banned guns and then the gun crime rate spiked...for years after the ban...then it returned to the same level it was at before the ban...
Which makes your post stupid......
Then....decades of social welfare has created young males raised without fathers.....and they have been importing violent people from the 3rd world....
And what has happened to their gun crime rate....it has gone up.....despite the ban, and the fact that they are an island....
Homicides in England and Wales up 14%
The police-recorded crime figures include a 9% rise in knife crime and a 4% rise in gun crime, which are thought to reflect a rise in gang violence largely in London and Manchester.
The rise in gun crime is the first recorded for eight years and includes a 10% rise in London.
The official statisticians say that a 36% rise in sexual offences, including the highest number of rapes since 2003 – at 33,341 – reflect a greater willingness of victims to come forward to report such crimes rather than a real surge in attacks.
So your post is stupid....it is not based in facts or the truth or the reality of guns in Britain....
And guns are flooding Britain....
from 2008
Firearms: cheap, easy to get and on a street near you
Most buyers are involved with drug dealing, the source said. Some are used to rob other dealers in crimes that go unreported, others are used as protection while a deal is under way. "Someone will have a tool and there is always one guy in a posse willing to use it. They will have one guy who doesn't give a fuck.
"Everyone wants to be a gangster now, mainly the kids. You have five or six in a little crew and one of them will be carrying. They want handguns - shotguns are too big and bulky. The sawn-off doesn't look so good but use a machine gun and you get known as a heavy guy. They have them just to be a chap on the street, to pose. Some of them walk around all day with a .38. It's 16-year-olds at it and it's getting like America, silly as it sounds."
In terms of nationalities, the influx of eastern European criminals has changed the balance of power. "Who's using the guns? The [Jamaican] Yardies' value for life was so minimal that they thought nothing of killing people," said the source. "We don't like them, they have no moral code. But it's the Russians and the Polish and Albanians around now. They are bullies. They want to take over the flesh business. The Russians are cold-hearted fuckers. What they have been doing is following the card boys [who put cards advertising prostitutes in phone booths in central London] and then taking the girls hostage, armed if need be."
And more recently....more kids are getting involved with guns in Britain...an island nation that banned them....
Hundreds of youngsters arrested for suspected gun crimes in last three years
CHILDREN as young as 10 were among hundreds of youngsters arrested for suspected gun crimes in the last three years, new figures have revealed.
And more....
Rising number of guns being smuggled into UK, Metropolitan police say
More guns are being seized in cities across Britain as the number of firearms being smuggled into the country increases, Britain’s most senior police officer has said.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Metropolitan police commissioner, told a hearing at London’s City Hall that a rise in gun crime in the capital was being put down to an increase in the number of weapons coming into the country.
The Met seized a “worrying” record number of weapons in 2015, including semiautomatic guns, Hogan-Howe said.
“We’ve seized more firearms than ever before,” he said. “In the previous year [2015] we’ve seized 714 guns – that’s around two per day. In a city this size, that’s a worrying number. This is an increase on previous years. Some of them are semiautomatic weapons, too.
“If you look around the big cities of the country, they are seeing a similar profile. Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool – they are seeing big rises as well.”
