If I'm hearing the video correctly, the UK has a broader definition that includes smaller offenses the FBI does not consider violent crimes ("simple assaults" and "all sexual offenses"
. Given the blogger the video quotes uses a UK number of 776, the blogger does not explain how the number 776 is reached. I would assume that the FBI number has to be adjust upwards to add in the categories the UK uses, or the UK number has to be lowered, counting only the numbers the FBI uses. This second scenario might be what the quote the video uses, but I don't see a source for the computation of that number.
Additionally, I do not see a source for the 2010 US number of 403 and again, does that include the incidences the UK also includes in its calculations or not? Can you clear that up?
The video doesn't source the 119 deaths of children age 1-12 from firearms in 2011, but I found this FBI source, just so it's out there.
