Meanwhile, in the UK, we're not getting shot.

Yeah, you just have a lot of people being stabbed..

The UK has a very high amount of total crime.. Yes, the US has a high crime rate because crime is relative to population density, standing on the social caste system, or the necessity to commit crime to survive. The UK has an above comparable level of crime to the US, however the US does have a higher gun violence rate - but that's only logical since it has quite a high rate of gun ownership and liberal gun-control policies that only perpetuate crime in urban areas.. The UK has a lot of knife-related robberies because the UK has a lot of gun control laws; there will still be illegal guns in the UK, but they won't be nearly as accessible as they are in the US.

Oh not crime, just people getting shot. There are like 10 neighborhoods in the entire country where you would here a single gun shot in a week. 

 

I don't even want to know what it is in the US

I hear gun shots all the times.

It's mostly rednecks shooting guns in their yards.

I personally own two .30-06's, two 12 guage shot guns, one 16 gauge, one 20 gauge, two 410's, a 9mm, three .22's, a .22 revolver, an older 30-30, a muzzle loader, a 7mm-08, a .243, and 2 bows. I have yet to kill anyone.

 

A murderer will kill no matter if the law says they can own a gun or not.

Hmmmmm... getting stabbed or bludgeoned is so much better. Frankly, if I did get murdered, I would hope it would be by a gun: knives are slow and painful. also, if someone stabs you, it will probably be where vital organs are, so there is a greater chance of you dying. Being shot once, contrary to what movies would like you to believe, does not kill you most of the time. More people die from infection than the actual gunshot wound. I watched someone get shot (accidently) and then drive himself an hour to the nearest hospital. So, in conclusion, being shot gives you a better chance to survive..

YOU'RE NOT HELPING

5 thousand more people were killed by non-firearms than firearms. Just thought it was an interesting thing    Can't really contribute much here lol Many good points (points I basically agree with lol) have been made, such as: Criminals don't follow the law so gun laws won't help, there should be some form of thorough background check on a person before they purchase a gun, taking away guns won't stop murders, etc. I believe we should be able to posses firearms for both protection and sport. Having stricter laws or banning guns in general will only affect law abiding citizens; thus, making them more vulnerable to criminals who could care less about the law (this was probably already said; but, I agree with it)
