In England guns are illegal. You know what the crime rate is there.
It's a good argument for repealing all their gun laws.
Try answering my questions, newbie.
All of us are aware of the scyrocketing crime rate in England since firearms and self defense have been taken out of the hands of the subjects.
What's your point?
I'm beginning to think you are on the wrong forum.
Yeah, it's a lot higher than it is in America, in EVERY SINGLE category other than murder, and the murder rates here have been higher than there for more than a hundred years, during most of which time neither country had any gun control laws to speak of. Indeed, our non-gun murder rates are higher than their total murder rates, which makes it pretty hard to pin the fault on guns or gun laws. But their non-murder crime rate increases have been recent and sudden, and it IS pretty easy to connect that to their ban on guns and self-defense generally.
The real question is, do you know know what the violent crime rate is in enlgand?
Hint: It's higher than ours.
Sheesh.
