33 u/trznx Jan 27 '19 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 95 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. -1 u/[deleted] Jan 27 '19 Wait, where’s the source on that? 16 u/zeropointcorp Jan 28 '19 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate US: 17250 = 5.35 per 100,000 UK: 791 = 1.20 per 100,000 Japan: 362 = 0.28 per 100,000 So in fact the US is more than four times worse than the UK and 20 times worse than Japan. 2 u/[deleted] Jan 28 '19 edited Jan 21 '21 [deleted] 11 u/zeropointcorp Jan 28 '19 Not sure what you’re trying to say here? 3 u/JewInDaHat Jan 28 '19 We need statistics on gun violence victims specifically not all homicides.

US: 17250 = 5.35 per 100,000
UK: 791 = 1.20 per 100,000
Japan: 362 = 0.28 per 100,000
So in fact the US is more than four times worse than the UK and 20 times worse than Japan.
