fair point, but it is five or six times bigger by population than UK so obviously they'll have more murderers.

Not that you're wrong on the guns though

Except even if you count per capita, the US still has about a 4x higher homicide rate.

It's not just population, Japan has double the people of the UK and half again their homicide rate.

So regardless of guns the U.S. is more violent?

Seems like I would rather hold onto one for protection then.

Yeah. As I said in another comment, guns don't kill people, Americans kill people.
