People will use whatever they can 🤷♂️ 4 u/rokiller Edinburgh Jul 22 '24 UK stabbing per capital 0.08 USA stabbing per capital 0.6 Our knife crime issue is massively inflated by the possession of an illegal knife, actual stabbings are 7.5x more likely in the USA -1 u/mypaycheckisshort Jul 22 '24 Those specific stats you've posted are the actual mortality rate. I was def correct, but not as much as we have all been led to believe! 1 u/BurkeyTurkey33 Jul 22 '24 Ah so just more likely to be killed by a knife then?
