  1. Yes, I 100% think England is much safer. You may very well be Murdererd here, run over, killed in a terrorist stabbing, car attack of bombing… Or be raped, robbed and much more, but we don’t have guns.

    The vast majority of the time, a Murderer can only commit a few murders at a time with a bladed weapon, before either having to flee or being apprehended by the public or police. Where as in the USA, a single person can kill 50+ people in just a few minutes.

    England isn’t the safest country in the world, but the chances of being caught up in a serious crime is rather low, and even if you are present during a serious crime, it’s much easier to defend yourself against someone with a knife than someone with a gun.

  2. It’s a lot harder get a gun license up here in Canada. We’re almost as bad at funding mental health initiatives as you guys so we get a lot of crazy people with knives though…

  3. I live in New Zealand. Smaller population so obvs statistics will be different but there’s not as much of a political split as there is in America and also tighter weapon laws. Not just talking guns but other weapons aswell.
