Criminals are increasingly picking the jungle blades as their weapons of choice to instill terror in victims and rival gang members.

Police forces are dealing with rising numbers of machete-wielding thugs carrying out murders, rapes, robberies and burglaries.

Literally proves nothing. Another nation having a higher crime rate negates the rash of machete assaults? Typical anti-gun rhetoric.

That's from Wikipedia, but it glosses over that there is a strong racial component to murder rates in the U.S. that the U.K. doesn't experience due to being less diverse. For example, the African-African homicide rate is 20.9 per 100,000, which brings up that national average up (if black American were it's own country, it'd have the 19th highest murder rate in the world). The white homicide rate is 2.6 per 100,000, still over 2.5x the U.K. average. Even with that breakdown, the U.S. is still more dangerous in terms of homicides.

That's not really relevant to this topic, though, since machete attacks often do not result in death.

Well, second point, how many people are injured in accidental machete discharges every year in the US

NO ONE EVER SAID IT WOULD BRING MURDER DOWN TO 0%

stop being so dense. Its a lot harder to kill 17 people in 2 minutes with a machete than a gun. you know that.

Yeah, restricting access to guns doesn't reduce the amount of violent crime to 0, so let's not bother at all.

And? There is a lot more than guns that influences that. Culture, Relgion, Economics, Media, Demographics, etc.

For example the United States is much larger and has a more diverse population with more immigration. More diversity tends to create more violence and as different ideals, predjuidices, religions and such cause friction.

For example Japan has an incredibly low homidice rate and I dare say a huge part of that is the extremely low amount of immigration and general cultural and religious homogeneity. This of course has its own flaws. My point is not that immigration is inherently bad. Just that diversity is one of the primary causes of human conflict. Most every good thing has something bad on the other end of the coin. Freedom of speech for example allows hate, disorder and stupidity to spread but of course limiting it risks tyranny and can limit discourse and ideas that could help advance society and it can be difficult to determine what can reasonably considered Hate speech.

No, more like let's not bother targeting the PERSON wielding the gun or weapon.

But who said humans weren't responsible?

It's not like acknowledging that guns are a problem in this country is simultaneously saying people aren't a problem.

The idea is to make it harder for violent people to cause mass deaths.

In a progressive society:
Unarmed police: Sir! You stop being mean and killing those people right this minute!
**another person is killed by the criminal**
Unarmed police: Sir we are not kidding around! You stop killing people right now it is against the law and morally reprehensible....you, you mean person! Swear to God we will tackle you and.......arrest you.....so, yeah! You hold still so that we can gingerly put these handcuffs on you and you better prepare yourself for the mother of all lectures as to why killing is bad you horrible meanie!
**Criminal kills cops and proceeds to kill more innocent people**

In a sane society:
Cops (guns drawn): Freeze! You are under arrest! Drop the weapon!
The criminal gets arrested and lives are saved because the cops had the proper means to do their job.

Yeah the police are rapidly losing control of parts of some cities in the UK. London is the biggest area.

Meanwhile the government is responding to cutting back on police officers and paying them less.

The UK also has cameras on every corner and a more invasive police force, among other things which make your comparison insincere. Of course, what really blows it out of the water is that fewer than half of all murders in the US involve a gun...

Also interesting is this:
As CBS News partner network BBC News reported, London saw its first homicide of April on Monday night, when a 17-year-old girl was fatally shot near her home in Tottenham, north London, "for no reason at all," according to a friend who arrived on the seen quickly.


So apparently gun control even on a tiny, easy-to-police island isn't enough to prevent gun murders.
