      In 2023, there were 49,489 knife-related offenses in England and Wales.

      The danger is not caused by the gun.

          If you want to include the 29,000 suicides among those “firearm related deaths” as evidence of the danger you face, then I’m going to point out that the danger to you is… You.

            Well you’ve cited nothing so I’m done with this conversation. Move the goal post all you want, but you’re not changing my opinion on this with your elusiveness.

              This is a public forum, not a private conversation. I’m not interested in changing your opinion. My interest is in presenting my opinion to our shared audience.
