UK knife violence? Vs US firearm violence?
I keep reading so much about how safe the UK is from a couple people on here, yet the crime statistics say differently. I really don't care how high the stabbing rate is in the UK, why should they care how high our firearm related death rate is? Here are a couple statistics that I found. Feel free to post more.
US
Every day, more than 80 Americans die from gun violence. (Coalition to Stop Gun Violence)
That equals 28,800 gun related deaths to our 301,139,947 people as of (July 2007 est.)
UK
LONDON (Reuters) - Official figures released on Thursday revealed there were more than 22,000 serious offences in England and Wales involving knives in 2007-8.
So 22,000 knife related deaths to 60,776,238 (July 2007 est.)
Seems that we have a much lower firearm related death rate than the UK does knife related deaths. This thread was not opened to start a battle between the US people and UK people, I just want to hear a calm discussion about the subject and I'm tired of hearing people in the UK bash Americans and our guns.
