Restarting a perennial favourite, with at least perhaps a less partisan audience than some other times... Noticed this article on the BBC site: news.bbc.co.uk The bit that really caught my eye was this sidebar. GUN-RELATED DEATHS 2002 UK: 81 Canada: 816 US: 30,242 Figures do not distinguish between crime-related and accidental or self-inflicted deaths Populations ~60M, 32M, 295M. So if "guns don't kill people, people kill people", why is the US rate not 5x the UK but almost 400x? I'm assuming that 2002 is simply the most recent year for which stats for all three countries are readily available but if anyone has more recent please post/link!
