The trauma center is in America dumbass. I said I've seen fatal stabbings IN AMERICA. I never saw a fatal stabbing IN THE UK, where I did not work in a level one trauma center. Seriously, go fuck yourself.

Hey, you started with the accusations. I merely set you straight. I couldn't give a shit that a dickhead doesn't believe ne.

I have worked in Accident & Emergency in England and in an ER in America. Guns are a curse.

You all need to see the deserted dead body of a 15 year old laying on the table after an unsuccessful resuscitation attempt. A baby who has been shot through, or the crowds of relatives helplessly sobbing in the streets outside the emergency room.

Every gun owner thinks they are a responsible gun owner until they arent. Its simply not possible to be 100% safe 100% of the time. That's not a thing that humans do.

And no. There are nowhere near as many knife deaths in England.

I never saw a fatal stabbing in the UK, but I've seen many in America. The numbers are insignificant when compared to gun accidents and murders.

All "tools" that kill this many people should absolutely be regulated.

Americans never shut up about freedom, but don't pay attention to the freedom taken away simply by the threat that anyone around you could be carrying a gun. You're all just used to it being your way. It's so nice not to have to consider the possibility. The american way is like spending your lives with the sword of Damocles dangling over your heads. That's your freedom.

There's no source. It's a personal anecdote. I'm not writing a scientific journal. From my perspective nobody talked about it until i was in my mid 40's.

You may be right, but it was a quick and dirty way of making my point. I didn't expect the Reddit Inquisition to be here yet.

I defend myself with a tiger and feed it highschool kids. Statistically, I'm an insignificant lunatic.
