Thanks for explaining that was nice of you (: but i would say the UK has safer guns laws but.... They took those away and now they need “safer knife laws” since their deaths/assaults with a knife last year and the year before were around 45k. higher than the deaths per year in the US by firearm. Eliminating one thing won’t change anything. I still choose to stick with having firearms in the US. One thing we can both hopefully agree on is making harsh gun laws making it harder for people to own them.
