"Assault deaths"??? I haven't run across that category. But I am familiar
with the "violent crime" category in which you in Britain and our compatriots

I'd still rather be a victim of a violent crime than of murder any day. What
is, with a knife or fists, a violent, but often survivable assault, turns into
a murder when guns are readily available and accepted as part of society. The
city of Detroit alone had about 384 murders and the WHOLE of Canada had 548.
Canada has 31.5 million people, Detroit, 893,000. So, why is Detroit's murder
rate 25 times higher?... what's the explanation? Why are there so many murders
in the US? The violent crime statistics are basically similar, but why so many
goddamned murders? There's only one explanation and it's spelled g u n.
