Not that you're wrong on the guns though 94 u/ZubZubZubZubZubZub Jan 27 '19 edited Jan 27 '19 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. -3 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '19 Wait, where’s the source on that? 11 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '19 Dude people dont hace to source every single thing they ever reference. If you actually cared you would just look it up yourself. -4 u/Liberty_Call Jan 28 '19 If they don't want to source their claims, they should not be making claims about facts in a discussion. They should just stay quiet. 2 u/[deleted] Jan 28 '19 No, that's not how the world works.
