Britain......after they banned guns the violent crime rate went way up.....to the point it is twice our violent crime rate........and that is with the stats they actually report....
Uh, no, it didn't.
The british had only 653 murders last year. of those, only 38 happened with guns. Their homicide rate is 1.03 out of 100,000.
We had 14,827 murders, of which 8,896 were committed with guns. Our homicide rate is 4.7 per 100,000.
Sorry silly person...before Britain banned guns they had a far lower gun murder rate than we did...after they banned guns...their everyday violence rate sky rocketed....notice the source silly person.....bloomberg.....not exactly right wing, or pro gun.....
And the study they use is Australian.....
fewer deaths more violence
