I’m too lazy to look up the data but my recollection is that there is considerably more violent crime per capita in the UK than in America. You focus on guns, I focus on violent crime (strong-armed robberies, break-ins with assaults on the homeowners, that sort of thing). Deny?
I have been to your country several times. For several reasons (one of which is your country’s crime problem), I won’t be back...something I’m sure distresses you.
P.S. I don’t worry about violent crime where I live since I have the means of fending off assailants: my guns. Too bad about you.
The UK’s biggest violent crime is burglary. Most of which take place when the homeowner is out.
Armed robbery isn’t a major crime, certainly not at US levels, violent assaults tend to be the result of excess alcohol and whilst again they exist, the numbers certainly wont be any worse per capita than your nation. Remember there are 28 different types of assault on the UK statute books. That’s why the UK figures re violent crime are skewed and the UK appears so ‘violent’. In fact, crime and violent crime has dropped across the UK.
I can guess the reasons you wont come back. Too Muslim (get outside London, it isn’t the UK!), but to say you wont come back because of supposed high UK violence is ridiculous, and frankly, from an American, is just ironic and bizarre.
To be lectured on violent society by an American, I don’t know whether to laugh or just roll my eyes.
Ever stopped to think that the reason you wander around with concealed carry is because your own nation is so violent?. Yet you are scared to come to the UK and you are seriously suggesting we’re some violent hellhole?.
The UK is a safe country to visit and live in.
Oh, and you ARE lazy. As I point out all the time, that there are 2.3 million guns in the UK, and that I am the owner of two.
