When citizens aren't armed, dumb criminals can't find guns. (Where would they get one?) Smart criminals understands that using a gun in a society without guns will make themselves feature prominently in national news, and the police will make it top priority to arrest them.

I mean, just visit any country where ordinary citizens don't carry guns.

And you Will find criminals that HAVE weapons. That's just an incorrect statement all around.

Several people per month are still shot in the UK. The guns are smuggled in through ports, much like drugs

According to Wikipedia, 0.20 out of 100,000 people died of guns in 2015, of which only 0.02 are homicides. As for the US - 12.21 out of 100,000 total, 4.46 homicides.

Seems like British criminals do have a really hard time finding guns.

Our entire country’s yearly stats are a bad weekend in Chicago.

I wake up knowing I’m probably not going to be shot by some prick in Asda car park.

In our country, less than 10% of murders are between people who do not know each other. And if you do not live in the specific bad neighborhoods that account for nearly all of our murders, then our crime statistics are literally the same. My town of 100,000 had 0 murders last year.

If you are able to solve the problems plaguing both East London and West Baltimore, I'm all ears, however it seems the war on murder will rage on
