Britian banned guns and they now have more violent crime than the USA and the rest of the EU. Why?

If you look at these statistics, you will see that half a million of them involve car theft and drug offenses. Neither of which are firearm related. On the other hand, they had 14 murders by firearms.

Here is a side by side comparison. http://www.nationmaster.com/compare/Unit...ates/Crime US - 6200+ deaths by firearm. Britain - 14 deaths by firearm.

check your facts. it's easy to altar perception if you include things like minor assault into your list of violent crimes
look at Canada
we have an average of about 500 murders a year for the ENTIRE country. Cities like Baltimore in the USA alone average around 300 a year. Canadians like to fight this is true we do and tend to beat the hell out of each other with hockey sticks lol this would be considered assault and a violent crime however no one dies as a result. so how can canada be listed higher then the USA? unless you are altering the facts for propaganda.
s. Africa has over 500,000 rape cases a year and those are just the ones reported in cape town. you think Britan has anywhere near that kind of crime?
c'mon use your common sense.
this is a work of propaganda and public relations to alter perception for pollitical gain.

if you want accurate numbers they have to be done from an unbiased source.
her'es a more accurate source

as you can see the USA leads the world in reported crimes the key here is ofcoures reported. as many countries such as S Africa don't report accurately and many don't report at all.
but of 'developed nations' no country in the world has a higher crime rate then the USA that's a fact.
now you can play with the numbers all you want include/exclude any crimes to make it look the way you want people to see it but it doesn't change the fact the USA has the highest crime rate of any developed country in the world.

I missed your link to the last UK mass shooting. Last school shooting. Load up your bunker and seal yourself in, it is the only way you will be safe.
