Very strange views considering UK rules on possession

UK looks like a goody goody two shoes. Hope this does not get to the minds of the politicians in the incorrect way.

Perhaps they should compare the number of murders in Canada and Britain. Dead is dead regardless of the weapons used.

Australia same story.

There is no lack of violence around the world. Blaming a tool is foolish. It is time we start blaming people.

Perhaps they should all use the same data when they do there stats.

[sjemac]

Canada's murder rate is 1.68/100,000
Australia is 0.98
UK is 0.92

US is 4.88

El Salvador is 108! and Jamaica 43.

[gevarm guy]

Canada's murder rate is 1.68/100,000


suspect about half that is with knives or other weapons.

And ......... if you take out domestic violence and murders and suicides the numbers would provide at least another reasonable data point. I don't recall where I heard this or read this but in Canada over 60% of the murders by guns are domestic (spouse killing spouse) or suicides.
