"...Violent crimes haven’t gone away with the UK’s gun control.
They’ve actually gone up. Britons suffer 1,158,957 violent crimes per
year, which works out at 2,034 per 100,000 residents. The U.S.,
meanwhile, has a rate of 466 crimes per 100,000 residents, which is
lower than France’s, at 504..."

google it for source


The murder rate for the U.S. is 4.2 per 100,000. For the U.K., it's
only 1.2. Here's the murder rate for some selected countries:


So we can ignore a violent attack such as rape or assault that causes extensive

As the US rates for these are also terrible compared to the civilised
parts of the World, its best to keep it quiet about it.
