What I could get for 05. I'm not bothered hunting further
Murder Rate per 100,000 people - 2005
US - 5.9
UK - 1.62
Method
US - 68% firearms
UK - 9% |
Ok, I just wanted to point this out:
If the population of the US is ~360 million, using your figures, Tchocky, that would imply that 14,443 people were killed by guns in 2005 in the US. The leading cause of death in the US in 2005 was tobacco usage, which resaulted in cancer [435,000].
