Actually that isn’t true. HAND GUNS and AUTOMATIC Guns are illegal in the UK. Shotguns and 5 round mag / clip bolt action rifles are ok. But funny fact you are more likely to be stabbed in the UK. Same thing with Japan. Gun violence is very rare as the only people who would own a gun legally are 1.) collectors, who have to go through through audits every year as well as making sure the guns are deactivated and can not actually fire 2.) People who are professional hunters 3.) Active Military

I mean UK (British, Welsh, and Scottish) Police don’t even have guns. They have whistles and billy clubs but there has never been a level of death like the in USA by cops getting gun happy.
