American discovering that the UK’s solution to a problem, isn’t shooting things in the face.

There is still less homicides in the UK every year from guns, than a single month in Chicago.

With 65 million more people in the UK than Chicago.

Right. No need to kill people directly when you can just refuse to supply air conditioners and let the heat waves kill them off for you

6 of my kids died this summer due to lack of AC and ice in their drinks

You can debate the finer points of gun control but can’t figure out how to keep a dwelling below lethal levels of heat, that tracks.

And chicago is the most violent city in america, that's the exception, not the rule.

u/SupplyChainMismanage 5h ago

Chicago is not the most violent city in the US. It’s not even in the top 10.

Just looked it up, you're right. I remember that being so at one point, but i'm wrong on that one

thank you for admitting you were wrong, but do u see how alluring the temptation of always demanding you are right is? a lesser man would double down and blame all the immigrants in a sanctuary city for lying about the statistics or some liberal conspiracy, you just admitted it and moved on. FUCKING THANK YOU for doing that

There are 12 large cities in the US with a population of approx. 1 million residents or more.

These cities have an average homicide rate of ~7x that of London, with the highest at ~13x.

Smaller cities like St Louis have a rate ~60x higher than London's (and no that's not a typo, that's sixty times higher).

The most shocking statistic? Even the US major city with the lowest homicide rate is still almost double that of London's.

London's homicide rate would rank in the bottom 1st percentile compared to large (>250k population) US cities. Now that's a comparison that speaks volumes.

EDIT: Dnu who's downvoting, you can Google this yourself. It's all true, the statistics don't lie.

Hawaii then

if you strip away suicides and look only at criminal murders, the gap is still massive: • Hawaii (Population 1.4 million) = ~20 gun murders per year. • The UK (Population 67 million) = ~32 gun murders per year
