Billbuckhead LOVES to crow about the measely 46 people killed with guns in the UK per year. He steadfastly refused to address the fact that the total homicide rate in the UK has been steadily increasing since 1967 until it is literally double what it was.
Double!
They used to have 0.75 homicides per 100,000 people per year. Now it's at about 1.5.
The piece of the pie that is guns has gotten very small in the UK. But the pie has gotten much bigger. That is not progress.
