nope, that was not my point, it was solely to point out the inaccuracy in that guy's post stating that there was a higher murder rate ever in the UK than in the States, ever - except maybe in the medieval ages or something 1,000 BC
the possible reasons for it I don't wish to go there, it's the Internets FFS, same reason I don't argue creationism/science here, what do you expect
yeah, i posted again saying it probably wasn't the murder rate, but crimes commited with weapons (knife vs gun), where the UK has a much higher rate than in the US.
