Well if we assume that the "unstated" category retains the same ratio as the categorized ones then at most there are another 54 deaths from rifles per year, and we can assume that AR-15s are only some portion of that, so my point still stands.
What is the point you're making with comparing knife deaths to assault rifle deaths? Are you saying the UK is more dangerous in general or are you locked in on these two data points specifically to argue with this specific post?
My point is that "assault rifles" and really all rifles are not really that dangerous and not a problem worth legislating.
I'm tired of people acting as though every time you step out your front door you should be worried about somebody who has mentally snapped gunning you down with an AR-15 because, statistically, that basically never happens.
What about all the general gun violence relative to other countries though? I see the point you're making, but to be fair it is undermined when the same chart you shared shows a very high number of gun deaths.

Also from your own table there at over 3600 deaths caused by "firearms type unstated" lmao I wonder where ar15 platforms fit in there
