Why would any sane country allow it's public to own and carry firearms?
I remember the first time I visited the US, I went to collect a hire car and the guy in the parking lot had a gun on his belt ... why would a parking attendant need to be armed?
Sorry America, but your brain is broken
The overall murder rate in the US is at an all time low. Also there was a time when Britain had similar gun laws to the US, pre-1964. When they enacted their gun laws the murder rate didn't drop, it stayed the same and slowly rose through the 1970s. The UK has always had lower crime than the US, even when they gun laws were the same.
Gun deaths UK/USA UK 0.26, USA 10.5 deaths per 100,000 population per year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_co...death_rate
