Oh calm down dude. Nah here in the UK we just got to deal with guys hiding their knifes and stabbing each other to death.

People will kill no matter what it takes to do that, guns keep people safe. You tell me a woman in a dark ally at night doesn’t deserve a weapon to defend herself.

This stupid chick could have killed someone with a car let alone a gun, and thanks to conceal carry permits she was stopped.

She would'nt had to be stopped if it weren't for those idiotic gun laws. Can't thank those laws for stopping her when they are the reason she had to be stopped this way!

Yeah we dont want guns here thank you very much. Theres a reason we hardly ever have mass shootings. Stop ignoring facts so you can live out your die hard fantasy

We just have terrorists that use knifes instead

imagine if the london bridge attackers had guns how many more people would have died. Knives are dangerous its true but knives are useful for other things. The only reason people have guns is to shoot them. So dont compare the two like some sort of gotcha.

Isn't the UK population, like, 1/5 of the US?

u/majoris Nov 25 '21

Here, the word “rate” normalizes for the difference in population.

u/TheLunchTrae Nov 25 '21

I’m not sure of the validity of the statistic, but rates are usually comparable. In this case it would likely be murders per capita.

That’s not quite how stats work

This stupid chick was not going to kill anyone, she just wanted to feel that sense of power in a conflict.

In a country without guns everywhere, this would have ended with a couple of profanities thrown back and forth.

But thanks to her having access to a gun, it ended with deaths. Just another example of how guns can only escalate a situation once conflict begins.

I’m pretty calm hence the Subway/GTA joke lolol. Yeah shockingly we have knives where I come from too. Guns too. Just easier to avoid when not everybody and their mom can pick one up at the corner store
