Yours is the most lame of all.
Murder by terrorist, no one died in the UK for the last few years by a terrorist act, even if they did one or two is hardly going to skew the figures by any appreciable amount.
That said over 3 or 4 years ending in 2011.
US murders averaged 4.8 per 100,000.
Canada averaged 1.6
and the UK 1.2
So you have four times the chance of being murdered in the US than you do in the UK.
I must say that the majority of deaths in all these countries are in a group 'known to police'.
Figures from the UNDOC
180 now who's lame your first sentence included "U.S. sees 3.3 homicides by firearm" and the rest of the paragraph repeats that theme. What are you being anti there? What did I say that makes it sound like we live in a utopia? Quit putting words in someone else's mouth. Or is that your dry humor surfacing again.
