      I lived in Texas for years: a state with some of the laxest US gun laws. In 2016, Texas had twice as many murders (1,459) as England/Wales (723). Texas has half the population (28m vs 58m). Of those 1,459 murders, 73% (1,066) were committed with a firearm. #Odessa #Midland

      i'm a Brit and I'd love for us to have the same gun laws as Texas. At least in the US the constitution allows citizens to defend themselves rather than wait for the Police to come and clear the mess up . checkmate I believe

      So, what you’re saying is that you want a much, much higher likelihood of being murdered in exchange for being able to defend you earned against being murdered? That’s a pretty strange “checkmate.”

      Not at all , defenceless citizenry are are target. As I live in a country with strict gun laws and archaic self defence laws i know full well how vulnerable we are . Murders in the UK are on the rise quite significantly especially in major cities

      If you are worried about murder, then why mimic the laws of a country whose per capita murder rate, and per capita gun homicide rate, dwarf those in the UK? Makes no sense. You talk about "defense," but US even has more knife murders per capita than UK.

      Your mistake is just focusing on the deaths caused by nutters with guns . More lives are saved by people with guns than are taken . More people are killed by cars , more are killed by doctors yet you dont hear ban cars or ban doctors

      No, my focus is on the logic of the argument. If access to guns would stop things like knife murders, why does the US with millions of guns have more knife murders per capita than the UK (and, of course, FAR more gun homicides)?

      If you're interested, http://letter.wiki  is a platform purpose built for this kind of exchange. The format lets participants in a debate carefully present their best arguments, unlike Twitter! Message me if you're interested - I'd love to help.
