    Just ban guns and call it a day. We can deal with the occasional crazy person with a knife.

        Britain’s knife crime rate is lower than the US’ knife crime rate.

          Yep, the US rate of knife crime is more than 7 times higher than the UK, and that is per capita

            Not sure what point you’re trying to make. Comparisons should be done per capita. Otherwise, it’s useless.

              Usually morons will point out how much larger our population is than the UK. I was stressing that the measure IS per capita, and it is egregiously worse.

              I was going out of my way to avoid people missing my point while adding more information, but there’s always someone…
