Thats sadly true, in America the change to get murdered is much higher than in the UK
( 0.04 murders per 1000 compared to 0.01)
So you agree that the US soceity is pathological violent? Would you sell a gun to a pathological violent person?
More serious:
Why do you think the US soceity is so violent?
