United Kingdom, their violent crime rate is 3.5 times higher than ours. In 2011 out of the 56,000,000 people in England and Wales there were 762,515 violent crimes, that translates to 1,361 violent crimes per 100,000 people. In 2011 in the US there were 1,203,564 violent crimes which translates to 386 violent crimes per 100,000 people. Britain and Pierce Morgan need to get over themselves since the numbers don't lie. This info was taken from the FBI's website and Britain's Home Office Statistical Bulletin.
The UK of course has a gun ban for citizens. The US has some gun control in place but no ban.
