Yes indeed it is. And is rising rapidly

In the UK, before the ACts of 1920..the murder rates in the UK were far
lower. What was it...hummm 1890...(1) murder in London, and that done
with an ax.

The occupied home burglary and assault rates in the UK are magnitudes
higher than in the US.

And a little known fact..if one removes the gang killings where gang
members kill gang members..the US falls to 1.5 per hundred thousand.
Which is not bad at all for a country that has universal firearms..some
400,000.000, million of them..and a falling burglary and assault rates
already below those of the UK.

Doesnt speak well for the UK now..does it?

If you eliminated most of the UK murders on the basis they happened to
people who don't count, the UK rate would be lower, too.

Which is not bad at all for a country that has universal firearms..some
400,000.000, million of them..


You know, that's the first time I've heard a gun proponent suggesting guns
would be expected to increase the domestic murder rate: Normally the
argument is that guns make life safer.

Anyway, I take your point: If you pretend two thirds of the murders don't
happen, the US murder rate is only 30% higher than England & Wales. I can
see why you're proud.

So in the UK...the dead dont count? Fascinating world view you

Fascinating your attempt to spin. Weak, poorly done, but typical of the
lot.

So I say..about those gun deaths when firearms were readily available to
all Brits....1 in London for the entire year, when gentleman carried a
pistol and ladies had a pistol in their hand muffs...
And now when they are utterly banned...

Seems the English have come totally aglay, eh wot?

There's absolutely no evidence at all that people carried guns as a
matter of routine when no licenses were carried, indeed there's some
evidence that nobody carried guns at all outside sportsmen carrying them
to and from getting them repaired..

Actually..not.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/oc...es-fall-halted

And it appears..that the crime stats have been juggled for quite a
number of years....

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk...s-1889927.html

"Mr Grayling replied by promising to "take account of the request by the
Statistics Authority, particularly with regard to the changes to
recording practices made in 2002-03".

But he insisted that he would "continue to use recorded crime
statistics, because they reflect an important reality; that the number
of violent crimes reported to police stations, and particularly serious
violent crimes, has increased substantially over the past decade, even
taking into account any changes to data collection"."


Google search.... "gun crime in uk rising"

3,850,000 hits

All indicating gun crime is on a sharp upward rocketing rise.

So run it past me again - why would we not count gang members in the US
death rate?

So English isn't your first language? You meant if you didn't have guns that
doctored murder rate would be even higher? How much? Double the UK?

That's the second time you've made that claim. It might be possible that the
_City of London_ only had single murder in a Victorian year, but it's known
as "the square mile" for a reason. Even allowing for the much smaller
population then, I don't believe that statistic. Source, please.
