OK, show me.  Find the numbers of violent deaths of children for the US and • the
UK and compare them.  I'm not that interested in the number of gun deaths,
because dying from a bullet is no worse than being clubbed (and often • better).
Show me the per capita child death rates and we can talk.

I expect I am correct~ish. Child deaths are rare enough (thankfully) to
normally be national news in the UK. I child that was killed buy a gun would
be news without a doubt.

Please note that I was specifically _not_ interested in the gun related deaths
as seperate from other murders.  Violent deaths is what I'm interested in, not
the weapon of choice.
