I really hate this idiotic analogy. I wonder if people would keep repeating this ridiculous @NRA talking point if they knew the numbers.
The UK had 285 knife fatalities in 2018 compared to the US which had 39,773 firearm fatalities. The comparison is stupid. Really stupid.https://twitter.com/tywarren269/status/1213211492591394816 …
Here’s some stats. Gun ownership and the number of guns have increased in the US yet overall crime has gone down since the 90s. Gun deaths account for under 1% of all gun deaths in America.

Gun related deaths account for under 1% of all deaths in America. That’s what I meant to say.

We shouldn’t try and lower tens of thousands of deaths because people die of many others things also?pic.twitter.com/IHLd8tsfTV
