How to live in a gun free world

So they cant just move to the UK to enjoy a gun free world.

New statistics reveal “lethal barrel firearms discharges” in the capital rose by nearly 13 per cent in 2017. Police also seized a record number of guns.
There were 350 shootings in the 12 months to the middle of January compared with 310 in the previous 12 months. At the same time police seized 880 guns in the capital last year, 100 more than the previous year.

And by all accounts, as your gang problems increase, so do your crime problems. Yeah, man...we can relate.

Yes, lots of gangs. Lots of guns within gangs. Sometimes they manage to shoot one another. Generally they don't have very good guns of ammunition to do a proper job of it.

And yes, like the rest of the world we need to stop prohibition.

Few guns, few shootings.

That criminals have often have guns is unpleasant but not as bad as the mad having guns. That the guns that the criminals have generally don't work, don't have ammunition or have such poor quality ammunition that it does not work and have generally never had enough ammunition to have a practice with the gun means that they are generally incapable of actyally doing much with the modified replica guns they have.

We don't want to follow the example of the UK.

The UK has a population of about 65 million. The USA has a population of about 325 million, five times that of the UK. Naturally with a higher population you will have a higher death poll.

Yeah that makes sense, 20 or so UK deaths per year, 20,000 US deaths per year... has maths changed recently?

A larger population will naturally have a higher per capita death rate.

No that is not what per capita means. The highest gun death state is Alaska. So much for your theory
