The US has 300 000 000 people living in it which cannot be compared to the UK.
Murder rate in the US: 4.2 and in the UK 1.2 so one might think you are right. But the average homicide rate in eastern europe and south america is higher than in the US and they have strickter gun control.
Look carefully. Those are not murder rates. They are gun homicide rates.
So, you are saying we are supposed to equate ourselves with 3d world nations? Thanks, but no thanks.
