About 57.

US estimated population - 314,273,210

UK estimated population - 62,641,000

5X the population and 5x the murder rate

Higher population density?

10,518.60/km2 New York

5,206/km2 in London

(4,405.4/km2 in Philly in case you were wondering)

If you can cherry pick stats, so can I.  Good for the goose and gander. 

I just goes to prove that stats prove nothing except that cherries are tasty.

I dont see why the  Brits n Kiwis be so worked up. We kicked em to the curb twice to keep our right to pop melons in NJ supermarkets. Also I saw on tv that Russia's murder rate is even higher than ours.

May be just me, but I'm pretty sure the bolded statement isn't true in the way that the size of a population doesn't directly affect gun crime rate.

Nathan, the more you spout off about conspiracy theories, the more I get the sinking feeling that you are serious.

It is just you.

Gun crime rate was not what was being discussed, it was murder rate as a whole.

Thanks for playing, you win you choice of a conspiracy theory Nathan doll or a paranoid Semp watching a cop put his hand on his gun doll.  Tickets can be redeemed at the box office.   :aok
