  Last time I was in London there was a shooting near Tower bridge

    Remind me of the date and I’ll tell you where the 1-7 daily mass shootings in America were for that day.

      Wasn’t suggesting we don’t have gun violence. Merely correcting your statement of “freedom from gun violence”

    Ah yes, that singular anecdote definitely cancels out the actual statistics on the subject.

      Anyway everyone knows London doesn’t count as part of the UK. L

    I’ll bet that every single place named Tower Bridge in the USA has had a shooting incident. Probably in the last year.

      Yup, you’re probably right. I was arguing the wording, not the numbers.

  But at least I’m not required to drink tea.

  • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Yeah just because you lot can’t make tea. I get it, it’s hard, it’s boiling water on leaves, it’s like two whole steps.

      Lol you got me. The first step of opium wars in China is just so hard for me.

  I agree. Getting stabbed by a gang of children is definitely better.

    For every case, it’s easier to flee X number of kids with knives vs X number of kids with guns.

    The “oh knives aren’t safe either so toss the entire argument” has always been a bit of a sad joke.

    The US also has a higher rate of stabbings per capita than the UK though.
