Gun Control & RKBA
In reply to the discussion: Harvard Study: Gun Control is counter productive [View all]AnotherMcIntosh
(11,064 posts)61. Although some have rejected the observation re Russia, it might be worthwhile to focus upon England
and Wales which seem to have a number of knife attacks which presumeably greatly exceed those in the United States.
The UK's Daily Mail, for example, reported a typical story in 2008 with a headline: "A knife attack every 4 minutes; 130,000 per year"
More than 350 people are the victim of knife assaults every day in England and Wales, the latest crime figures have revealed.
Last night a teenager in Lambeth, London, became the latest victim of the stabbing epidemic, dying in hospital after a frenzied attack.
Almost 130,000 attacks involved knives last year - equivalent to one every four minutes - according to the annual British Crime Survey.

Also, there are no legal civilian handguns in Russia, but their murder rate is over 3x the USA. nt

You're actually answering your own question and proving my point with this sentence.

There's no correlation in your articles, just obfuscation and misinterpretation.
