The issue was brought up by Byron in the old thread I mentioned, which might be the thread I linked to.
According to Wikipedia here, the intentional homicide rate for the UK is 0.92 per year per 100,000 inhabitants, while the intentional homicide rate for the US is 4.88 per year per 100,000 inhabitants.
Deflecting, eh? Violent crime rates in any country are orders of magnitude higher than murder rates, and follow different patterns. Murder rates in the US are vastly inflated by heavily gun controlled cities like Chicago and DC where the rates are upwards of 20 per year per 100,000 inhabitants. Meanwhile, New Hampshire, has the lowest murder rate of any state, and also has some of the most permissive gun laws.
