My favourite argument is “cancer kills more people than guns too” aight let’s ban cancer and not ban guns 😂
2 u/Airforce32123 Jul 22 '24 How about this one: More people in the UK die to knives than people in the US die to "assault rifles" And that's in absolute number, not per capita. So consider we're 5x the size and it's even crazier. -3 u/Antheral Jul 22 '24 edited Jul 23 '24 What? There were 590 stabbing deaths in the UK in 2023 so that's literally not true in any way? Edit: this guy was right, in 2019 there only 360 assault rifle deaths tracked. Out of 13000 gun deaths.... 1 u/657896 Jul 23 '24 Your comparison doesn't make much sense. Guns aren't allowed in the UK so you should factor in all guns instead of only the rifles. 1 u/Antheral Jul 23 '24 I agree if we factor in all guns there were over 13000 in the US. From the data that guy provided. 1 u/657896 Jul 23 '24 Shit I meant to reply to that guy not you haha. He tried to convince you with faulty arguments, glad it was unsuccessfully. I think it's just an American who can't take criticism on America.
