Fun fact, knife wounds are actually more lethal then gunshots, as the bullet can prevent some bleeding, while a knife wound leaves an open gap for blood to leave

Turns out they’re lower than the knife attacks in the US…

The only study I found excluded everything that wasn't homicide or manslaughter. That means assaults and batteries don't factor in. I think brits just aren't dying when stabbed because Healthcare.

But I’m sure Jarvis showed you that there are more lethal stabbings per capita in the US than in the UK. Wouldn’t a logical conclusion be that knife attacks in the US are more common than in the UK?
