He was not pulled up on his bullshit argument that if people did not have guns they would simply use knives or acid 'like in the UK'.
So there is no acid or knife crime in the US then?
I have news for the moron, I have yet to see a bloke wielding a knife stab someone from half a mile away or succeed in killing dozens and injuring hundreds of innocent victims in the blink of an eye.
Fucking hell - and it's mouth-breathers like that who run the the most powerful nation on Earth
There is some knife crime, but very little. I'm not saying an acid attack has never happened, but I've never heard of one.
I think if you managed to round up 270 million guns, that we would start using knives more, and for those that wanted to engage in a mass killing, they would have to use bombs I guess.
You know, if you add up all the events that happen in the EU vs the US, they are not that different. What drives are murder rate is the minor skirmishes that no one ever hears about, except the locals.
There have been far more murders in North Texas during the past one year than happened in Las Vegas Sunday night, but even I don't know much about them. They are on page 3 of the paper usually.
No. It isn't.
Paris, Manchester, the Bastille day attack, Orlando, Dallas, Vegas. I'm sure I'm missing some and I said "about".
No doubt the American events have higher death counts for the most part, but there is still time for a European to hit 60 or better.
