And the facts are that the Uk is a lot safer thaan the US with all of its guns. All of Western Europe is safer.

I doubt that you can prove this claim.

He already has.

 

[Open Bolt]

I thought you wanted to shy away from the discussion of guns ...

Never!

but here you are helping to prove that guns are the most dangerous of all.

Not at all. Cars are much much more dangerous than guns.

Maybe you need to think a bit harder before you respond.

No. I'm good.

He already has.

Not that I've seen. Although I admit I've only gotten through the first third of this thread so far.

No not really

The UK has higher crime rates in than the US in many categories.

Murder isn't the only crime you know.

And besides , since you don't know shit about this country you don't know that most murders occur in the poorest inner cities and that is by design.

The powers that be just don't give a shit about the young poor urban minorities that kill each other and the minority communities don't really give a shit either.

If either of those 2 groups really cared then somethin g would be done about it.

We do not prosecute gun crimes as the federal crimes they are so of course we have more. It has nothing to do with law abiding citizens owning guns.

 

[2aguy]

Really? Golly! So, all of those men, women and children who get blown to bits at kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, colleges, universities, post offices, churches, road rages and shopping malls are (sorry .... 'were') gang or drug cartel members? Hmmm, you learn something new every day!.

330 million Americans......how many committed mass public shootings in 2021....

You mean except for the 15 million men, women and children you Europeans murdered in that 6 year period from 1939-1945.......when Americans with guns had to come in and stop the slaughter....

These aren't people killed as collateral damage...these are unarmed men, women and children murdered by the socialists.......

If you divide that number between the years 1939-2022.....Europe murdered more people than every single year of gun murder in the United States...

You assholes don't get to ignore that...

Murder is the only crime that is comprable as there has to be a body. If we didnt count our poorest areas we wouldnt have any deaths either So stop pick and choosing to try and make your case. The stats dont lie. Guns make you less safe. Its not even a debate.

Thank you for that clarification but I'm afraid that the BS from that corner is unlimited and we'll have to endure it till the end of time.

You say it's not guns .... but you proved that it is guns.

LOL only in your delusions

 

[Open Bolt]

You say it's not guns .... but you proved that it is guns.

That is incorrect. I have proved no such thing.

But here is proof that cars are much more dangerous than guns.

There were 458 fatal gun accidents in the US in 2018.

There were 39,404 fatal car accidents in the US in 2018.

Car accident data acquired from this page (I downloaded the data table to get the specific number for 2018):

Historical Car Crash Deaths and Rates - Injury Facts

Between 1913 and 2021, the number of motor-vehicle deaths in the United States increased 1,018%, from 4,200 deaths in 1913 to 46,980 in 2021.

I guess I should have read lower on the NRA page. They had car accident numbers there too. But since I already looked up the other car accident numbers I guess I'll leave it like it is.

Your figures are wrong. Gun deaths are many times the figures you quote.

 

[Open Bolt]

Any time I hear the term "common sense" invoked, it is always someone wanting to violate people's civil liberties.

No thank you. I'll pass on the civil liberties violations.

Your figures are wrong. Gun deaths are many times the figures you quote.

Feel free to cite a credible source that gun accident numbers are any higher than what I listed.

 

[2aguy]

Your figures are wrong. Gun deaths are many times the figures you quote.

And they are still not higher than car deaths….

 

[2aguy]

Your figures are wrong. Gun deaths are many times the figures you quote.

You are trying to mix intentional criminal gun use with accidents…..

 

[RetiredGySgt]

Your figures are wrong. Gun deaths are many times the figures you quote.

Accidental deaths by firearms are very low actually

 

[RetiredGySgt]

You are trying to mix intentional criminal gun use with accidents…..

Yup even mixing in murder and suicide the numbers are smaller then car deaths,
