During the first six months of the year, police recorded 39,332 knife crime offenses -- a 12 percent increase over last year, according to the Office for National Statistics. Other violent crimes, including murder and robbery, also increased by double-digit percentages.
Data also showed the number of homicides in which a knife or sharp instrument was used increased by 25 percent in the last year, ONS said.

Also do one where the x and y axis aren’t pseudo logarithmic or haphazard. Those are some of the most skewed graphs I’ve ever seen.
Christ look at the percent gun ownership axis. The numbers are all over the place.

I’m not sure what your point is. I’ve alrwady explained things to you.
Seems like Britain is experiencing a bit of a crime wave. Aren’t they lucky not to have many guns? Imagine if all the gun crime in Chicago was knife crime instead. There would be hundreds of fewer murders.

Is England's overall homicide rate lower than America's -- in proportion with national population.
I wonder how they compare?

Is that a serious question? How do you get away with discussing these issues and not have a clue how much higher the homicide rate is in the US than other equally developed western nations.
The UK homicide rate is about 1.25/100,000. The US rate is 4x higher, about 5/100,000.

With that said, I would have to bring up the CDC study that shows how many lives guns save.
I'll fetch it.

That way, if there happens to be a public shooting (God forbid), people can protect themselves with body armor.
Wouldn't everyone go barreling towards the body armor case, causing chaos and trampling over others, and creating a huge mass of humans gathering around and towards one single area for the shooter to unload into?
Absolutely awful idea that would cost 10 times more lives than it saves.

Not to mention the fact that it would take them longer to get the body armor and figure out how to put it on than it would to get a safe distance from the danger.

Plus, what's to stop the mass shooter from putting on the armor first?

Wouldn't even be worth it. Would be much more practical to just empty mags into the people pile that gets trapped around it.

Assuming Americans would resort to knives if we banned guns is foolhardy, Americans are exceptional creatures - and they would be entirely unique and impressive in their way as is their nature. I would assume a mass "knife attack" would be perpetrated by something like this:

A terrorist attack occurred inside the Kunming railway station in Kunming, Yunnan, China at around 9:20 p.m. on 1 March 2014, when a group of eight knife-wielding men and women attacked passengers at the city's railway station.[2] Both male and female attackers pulled out long-bladed knives and stabbed and slashed passengers. Police killed four assailants[3][4] and captured one injured female. The assailants left 31 civilians and 4 perpetrators[1] dead, with more than 140 others injured.[5][6]

I wonder wtf is up with that, school shootings are deadlier here than the Chinese school stabbings... but what makes them strange and exceptional is that they are almost entirely perpetrated by older people - and I cant think of a single school shooting in the us that was an older person?

8 attackers and only 31 dead? That’s only 3.85 kills each. That’s not even enough to qualify as a mass shooting.

I didn't follow the stories at the time. That's a trip.
