Somone on another site brought up some crap about guns causing more crime so I looked up the statistics:
actually the US has LESS crime per person than the UK which banned guns
burglaries:
US 7.09996 per 1,000 people
UK 13.8321 per 1,000 people
car thefts:
US 3.8795 per 1,000 people
UK 5.6054 per 1,000 people
robberies:
US 1.38527 per 1,000 people
UK 1.57433 per 1,000 people
when you take all crimes into consideration the final statistics are:
US 80.0645 crimes per 1,000 people
UK 85.5517 crimes per 1,000 people
statistics taken from
