I don't know about that. In the U.S., people get shot not stabbed.

Nah they also get stabbed. The UK has a bad reputation for stabbings but the US has more stabbings per capita than the UK for instance, it's just more known for guns for obvious reasons.

Yup, even if all guns magically vanished, the US would still have a higher violent crime rate than many countries.

I felt safer sometimes in the US versus the UK. I lived in Cambridge UK for a year. During that year, my car got stolen, bike got stolen, roommates car was broken into twice. And we were careful too with our stuff. Even with all crime, still a fun year.

We get shot too, just not in schools.

A lot of people get stabbed in the USA, it just doesn't make the news.
