[quote:Anonymous Coward 29640603:MV8yMDg0MTk5XzM1MDkzNzg1X0FDMEJCOUE2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 29640603:MV8yMDg0MTk5XzM1MDkzNzc0XzVDOTQ5NUZG] in 2009 there were 42 gun-related deaths in Great Britain. This number includes homicides, suicides and accidental deaths. In 2005 (the latest year for which numbers are available) there were 30,364 gun-related deaths in the United States. This number includes homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths. True, the United States has more people than Great Britain so you can’t really compare these two numbers. Britain has about 61 million, while the United States has about 296 million, which gives the U.S. about five times the population of Great Britain. So, a better comparison of the numbers would be to multiple the British gun deaths by five. 42 x 5 = 210 Now we can compare the numbers. Gun-related deaths for Great Britain (if given a population equal to the United States) = 210 Gun-related deaths in the United States = 30,364. 210 vs. 30,364 [/quote] "You do the math" [/quote]
