Re: Yet another shooting in the US
Let us not forget the comparison of gun deaths per 100,000 citizens.
https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsan...m-gun-violence
U.K. 0.06 per 100,000
USA 4.43 per 100,000
The USA has 74 times the number of gun deaths per 100,000 citizens compared to the U.K..
Also, knife murders are also higher stateside: there were 4.96 homicides “due to knives or cutting instruments” in the US for every million of population in 2016. In Britain there were 3.26 homicides involving a sharp instrument per million people in the year from April 2016 to March 2017.
