They cannot buy some guns. You already posted that. They are limited to only what they are told they can buy.
As are you limited in what firearms you are told you can buy, you already know this.
You have fewer liberties than the U.K across the full spectrum of freedoms as proven by more than one independent org.
Give up this nonsense you're somehow special because you've got your pocket soothers. No one else wants that inane, self destructive silliness in their country.
The Office for National Statistics reguarly release such information, for instance last yea two-thirds of sharp instrument homicide victims were White (63%, 179 homicides), while a further quarter (25%; 70 victims) were Black. There were also 139 women killed as a result of Domestic Violence.
The UK is a country of 66 million people, and had 285 knife murders last year, 29 firaerms deaths, 800 murders in the entire UK and 132 murders in London a city of 9 million.
Lets not bow this out of proportion.
Furthermore knife crime in London has started to fall, partly due to increased police activity and stop and search. Many cities have also set up Violence reduction units, in order to copy a succesful Scottish scheme which treated the route causes of knife crime and involved professionals from a multitude of specialist fields in order that a more holistic approach could be taken.

285 was in England and Wales, there were also another 40 or so in Scotland and Northern Ireland, so around 325 total for the UK I think.
This year the whole UK is at 100 by May 14th, if that rate continues for the rest of the year we will end up at 270-280 total which would be a fall of over 15% compared with last year.

There were only 59 homicides in Scotland last year, of which around 34 involved knives, whilst Northern Ireland had a total of 19 murders.
The last figures available for England & Wales was 726 homicides in the year ending March 2018. However, recent trends in homicide are affected by the recording of exceptional incidents with multiple victims such as the terrorist attacks in London and Manchester, and events at Hillsborough in 1989. If these are excluded, then the number of homicides increased by 89, or 15%, from 606 to 695.
So the last figure available for the entire UK is 773, which is not bad for a country of 66 million, and per capita Britain has a very low homicide and serious crime rate.
The Office for National Statistics reguarly release such information, for instance last yea two-thirds of sharp instrument homicide victims were White (63%, 179 homicides), while a further quarter (25%; 70 victims) were Black. There were also 139 women killed as a result of Domestic Violence.

So 25% of all knife victims were black yet Black/African/Caribbean/Black British account for only 3% of the UK's population.
Kinda punching above their weight don't you think ?
