They have higher violent crime rates because they have more blacks, and the gun laws are ineffective because the country is already flooded with guns.
The UK is not flooded with guns, and so the gun laws are actually effective.
They are SO effective, that murders are primarily committed with knives. More murders in the UK are committed with bare hands than with guns. No, I am not joking.

I am very familiar with both Luty, and that channel.
But the UK's gun control is highly effective, as I have already shown.
I am saying this as someone who is not particularly a fan of multiple aspects of the UK's gun control.
