dscntnt:In the UK the homicide rate (homicides per 100,000 population) for 2018 is 1.2 by all means including firearms.
In the US the homicide rate (homicides per 100,000 population) for 2018 is 1.47 excluding all firearm deaths.*
dscntnt cont'd: Excluding homicide by firearms the US has a hire rate of death than the UK does from all means including firearms. Extrapolating here I project that if there were no guns in the US and nothing changed in the UK, our homicide rate would be over 20% higher than than theirs.
A 'hire' rate? still working on your GED are you? Well, you get half a point, you got it right later on the paragraph.
What kind of simplistic nonsense do you put out? Perhaps you are wanting to say that of the ~4.5 firearm homicide rate for 2018, about 15,000 it seems which you exclude, they would translate into a lesser amount but sizable fraction of firearm murder which, added to the 1.47 rate, would jack a gunless US up to maybe 2 to 3 times more homicides than in gunless UK. Duh.
What exactly do you think you proved with this exercise in nonsense? Trying to suppress the awful effects of guns in america? and your reply pal blaming the gun problem on democrats gun control approach - no can't be the guns - another nut job opinion.
