Church Shooting Gets No Coverage

[musterion]

As a note I read about in the UK, so it got some coverage as it was a church. (mainly religious press).

But as there on average 30 gun homicides a day in the US, its not surprising this one doesn't stand out.

How many homicides per day in the UK, and by what means? Let us know.

Then, look up the stats of how many violent crimes in the U.S. are STOPPED by citizens with guns. Let us know that, too.

As regards, home many violent crimes were stopped by guns its claim 80 for every crime committed, but that would make Americans 160 times as murderous as us brits, and i don't find that believable

do you?

Got the Excel doc to open. Figure 5 says England and Wales had 6,375 incidents of gun crime April '16 - March '17, up by about 1000 since 2014. Interesting that note 1 says

1. Police recorded crime data are not designated as National Statistics.

Not sure what that means.

I speak the truth too, you seem to hate it here based on your own words, so why do you stay? Its a sincere question.

Truth and sincerity? hahahahaa.
