the problem with that is you’re comparing two countries with separate problems lots of our numbers include gang violence and domestic violence which that does not

You can't just move the goal posts when you're shown to be incredibly incorrect.

Yet you’re comparing both countries but aren’t using the same variables imagine that being your argument let’s compare apples to apples not apples to peaches

They have gangs and domestic violence in the UK too. They just don’t have easy access to guns.

You’re delusional if you think otherwise

Well look at it this way remember the US has over 300 million + people with over 400 million+ guns in it and we only have 10-12thousand some homicides then there’s the uk who has a population of 60 million people with 2 million guns with extremely extremely strict gun laws so those guns are in an exceedingly small group of people so theoretically their gun crime should be damn near zero but it’s not not even close America has more guns than people but only has 10-12 thousand gun homicides so theoretically we should have a way higher number if guns were the issue

We do have a way higher number. Not sure why it has to be repeated, you really are delusional about guns

The UK’s violent gun death rate is 0.06 per 100,000. In America it’s 4.43 per 100,000. That’s a 73x difference
