According to sites that I don't think are very reputable (hence no links), there are about 50 gun deaths in the U.K. every year and 30,000 in the U.S. Those stats could be wrong, but I can't find any good links.

Maybe our crime rate is so much higher becaise of a-holes like this.

It doesn't really matter if it is a gun crime or not. Violent crime increased (which may not all be with guns) because the criminals know that people don't have guns to defend themselves. If you were going to rob somebody, wouldn't you rather do it in England because you know whoever you are going after doesn't have a gun to defend themselves. If you thought they had a gun, you wouldn't rob them.

I guess you don't live near a high crime area. A lot of gun-toting drug dealers get robbed, murdered, beat down, etc. I would venture to guess that many young male victims of crime in high crime areas have weapons.

There goes that theory.

I'm talking about a criminal going after an average citizen, not drug dealers going after each other. If your going to rob someone, you would go after the guy without a gun over the guy with a gun.
