I fundamentally disagree with your analysis - most areas of the US are not remotely diverse in culture compared to London.
The way I estimated gun murders was by taking a guess at around 40%, on the basis that conservatives (likely to be pro-gun) claim that 6 in 10 gun deaths are suicides, and they likely over-count.
By a "combined" value do you mean for England and Wales (which is because that is the reporting authority), or for gun deaths overall (which is because that is what is reported by the CDC - I'm sure this is broken down elsewhere but I only had a few minutes)?
- lostlogin 4y agoI'm in agreement with you and am arguing against buscoquadnary's analysis (which you make a good argument against). I don't see that diversity can be blamed for the US murder rate. The combined Texan gun death value you cite is readily found, but I have had trouble finding the number of gun homicides per year, which is puzzling but must have a reason.
- jen20 4y agoAh apologies, I missed that you were a different responder. I don’t understand really why the gun homicide rate does not appear to be available - it’s certainly surprising to me that it’s not easy to find.
