Crime United States - 45,000 gun deaths every year

[Siver!]

You’d have a heart attack in Texas

If I was in Texas, I'd just respect the rules. Yeah, it would be weird as fuck, but it is what it is. My main fear would be a bad guy with a gun appeared and then more guns appeared and then fuck knows! I'm not safe at that point.

My point is more that if they tried to make the UK into Texas, I would definitely push back on that

In public, that is.

Why would anyone want to live in a society where people carried around knives? Or any weapon?

As someone who lost a mate in a bar fight because the pussy had a knife . Lock the pussies up for carrying concealed weapons in public. Especially at pubs / clubs.

You can carry have a knife here if you have a legal reason . Ie hunting fishing certain work and such. But without a valid reason its illegal. And self defense isnt a valid reason to be carrying a knife in the eyes of the law..

Try a home invasion . Theres obviously no crime for using a knife in defense.

Dif rules in public

Why the fuck's that idiot got a knife, and why is he prepared to use it?

Guy was a coward was the only reason. Chemd up and drunk and losing a fight he started...

Got life in prison for it at least.

It so much easier to kill someone with a gun than a knife.

It's even easier if you're allowed to carry that gun, because you're not allowed to carry knives in sane countries.

Anyone can kill with anything, but nothing makes it easier and few things are more lethal than guns.

Any alternative is better.

I guess

I've carried one for like 22 years and haven't murdered anyone or put it to my dome and thought about ending it however so I feel like guns are pretty safe.

Don't worry. We'll ban all guns once we get back on power. Then we'll round up all the Drumpf supporters and put them in concentration camps

I feel the opposite

Why would.anyone want to live in a society where you can't. It makes me feel free and proud when I lock my gunbelt in place and step out the door.

I don't want to hurt anyone. But I've learned living in Wayne county that anything can and will happen and it's best to prepare accordingly.


Plus and being honest with you and myself ....I like to carry a gun on me.

Some people need killing when they are criminals.

There you have it, the United States has the equivalent of a small civil war’s worth of gun casualties every year. In 2022 there was 48,000 gun deaths.

In China there is between 100-200 gun deaths a year (private gun ownership is banned).

Take out the suicides and legal use of a gun in self-defense. Then remove the gang members shooting each other in other criminals shooting each other then what do you have.

Maybe add a link to your source.

Want to discuss the differences in Demographics between China and the US? And which group commits homicides (firearm or not) at rates almost 10x the national average?

No? Why not?

You mean a state like Montana (Idaho 1.4/100K or Utah 2.0/100K)

Or DC with a 25/100K rate?

 

[DoctorTaco]

How many knife deaths in China?

Around 4k

Oh right. Thanks @Khaosan

(Whataboutism.)

 

[Khaosan]

How many knife deaths in China?

BUT WHAT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE?! 111!!??

 

[DoctorTaco]

Then why do more than double the people commit suicide by other means here, than firearms?

Suicide Data and Statistics

An overview of suicide trends and data

www.cdc.gov

That chart says the opposite of what you wrote. 54% by gun, 46% by all other means combined

 

[burningspear]

You guys dont need Dignitas.

 

[Fox by the Sea]

Around 4k

Oh right. Thanks @Khaosan

(Whataboutism.)

since when do you have anything against whataboutism lol
you and your leftard buddies are "BBbut Trump " drones.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Just ban private gun ownership in urban areas. Problem solved.

Get back to me when the gun grabbers want to really reduce the homicide rate with criminal control.

 

[oldshadow]

Double

 

[Protectandserve]

Death with dignity laws would change these stats drastically.

Always including suicides in these numbers and then acting like it’s all gun crime is always disingenuous

 

[HomeCheese]

We have a problem in our culture, we produce toxic men. Nearly 90% of gun violence is committed by men. Just look at the toxic POS the US men overwhelmingly voted for president.

There is something very wrong in our society.

 

[b-hop]

GGs wonder the demographics that cause those statistics? Tough one that one for sure..
