The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Residents of England don't have AR-15s. How is there crime problem doing? Oh, that's right, they don't have a gun problem, they have a knife problem.

statista.com - G7 country homicide rate
2021 (last figure shown for UK)
Homicide per 100k people:
USA 6.78
UK 1.15

en.wikipedia.org - List of countries by intentional homicide rate
USA 5.763 (#6)
UK 1.148 (#53)

The USA is an extreme outlier among industrialized countries.

Actual gun crime statistics are that almost all gun-related crimes are done with a pistol not a rifle.

I agree.
I still don't want to own the largest AR-15 parts maker in the country. It's not even a rounding error for Berkshire.
