United Kingdom vs United States: Crime > Violent crime Facts and Stats

The UK Murder rate per million people 11.68
Ranked 94th.

The U.S. rate is 42.01
Ranked 43th. 4 times more than United Kingdom

Yes we have too many murders, most of which seem to be teenagers on other teenagers with knives, or family involved murders, often by burning the holue of their ex down. If they could get guns, no doubt there would be many more.
There was a programme on TV recenly called Gun no 6. They said it had been used in 11 shootings and six murders. Although a number of the gunmen have been jailed, the gun has never been recovered. Because guns are hard to come by, they are passed round from criminal to criminal.

"This programme is not currently available on BBC iPlayer
Gun No 6

Changing hands over a decade, used in 11 shootings and three murders, this is the story of Britain's deadliest illegal gun. Made by a Bafta-winning team, this bold hybrid of documentary and drama charts every shooting of Gun No 6 and confronts us with the realities of modern gun crime.

The film honours the lives lost to Gun No 6, through the testimony of loved-ones left behind, but it also asks us to listen to the perpetrators of gun crime too.

As governments and news headlines wrestle with the reality of violent crime, this film explores why men pick up guns and the shockwaves that follow each shooting, for the victims, perpetrators, communities and police."

Okay, the OT is moot, signed sealed and delivered but there's just a couple of things here - first, it's easy to say the Christian Left is the one in apostasy, how in the world could a follower of Christ ever vote in lockstep with supporters of gay marriage, abortion throughout the pregnancy and past it on demand, cross-dressing men in the ladies' room, booing the mere mention of God at their national convention, and the like? Sheesh, we are commanded to help others, not have some jackboot government confiscate our wealth and dole it out to themselves and their followers under the threat of law.

CMG said the crime rate in London was high, and, well, it is but I think NYC will make a comeback and "win" this again. So you get shot at more if you're an American, Londoners get stabbed and often have acid thrown into their faces. Gun control isn't the answer, it's the population and their lack of morals and restraint that have more to do with it. I see there's finally a Jussie thread here. but there's been dozens of real-crime murders in Chicago since, and that place is gun control central.

I copy my post from another site,

  • That is dangerous. Hitler declared a state of emergency when he came to power, That allowed him do do as he pleased and carry out all his atrocities.

Obama declared several emergency declarations, some of which are still in force. Other presidents from Carter to Clinton have done the same. The Republic will survive Trumps emergency declaration also.

“He’s prepared to sign the bill, he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time,” McConnell said ahead of a Senate vote on a measure to keep the government running past the February 15 deadline.

The comprise measure keeps departments running through the fiscal year but without the $5.7 billion the president wanted for the border wall with Mexico.

McConnell: Trump Will Sign Spending Bill—and Declare Nat'l Emergency

I am afraid President Trump got scammed by both the Republicans and Democrats on this bill. In a report in the Washington Post, Democrat leaders told their members not to gloat, as the Republican negotiators went right along with what the Democrats wanted.

Thanks for proving my point!!
Quoting this Scripture to, supposedly, rebut my comments, IMHO, puts you in either the 1st or 2nd category. I honestly do not believe you fit the last -could be wrong though - as you probably then would either reject, OR not even be aware of, the quoted Scripture.

And specifically what leads you to say that about “re-defining the Gospel”?

[Mat 6:24 KJV] 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

So now you are against illegal immigrants?

I'm saying Trump is an all-out hypocrite. He has used illegal immigrants in violation of the law to build his enterprises but then claims they are all criminals and dangerous to America. BTW, I'm not in favor of having illegal immigrants in the U.S. Most of them do not come across the border illegally but rather were here legally (e.g. green card) but stayed past their deadline.

I'm in favor of treating these people legally and humanely. We need to have a consistently applied law to deal with these people.

That is ridiculous.

No I haven'tbuty then when the Catholic priests were murdering Christains here, they threw babies on the fire as well. One woman who was burnt called out to those nearby for somebody tocare for her baby. The priest said, throw it on the fire, it is an heretic.

You have got plenty of Catholics there.

First thing first. He should never sign the bill.

"Pedestrian fencing" is useless.

Uh no people who worked for him hired them. Prove he had knowledge it it.

but then claims they are all criminals and dangerous to America.

Using your standard for Trump this statement makes you a liar. He never said "all". So now you are the liar you have accused Trump of being.
