Yet...gun ownership in the US is at an all time high...

On the other hand:

US Murder rate 4.8 per hundred thousand

England & Wales murder rate 11.5 per million (1.15 per hundred thousand)

Scotland murder rate 21.4 per million (2.14 per hundred thousand) - the
second highest in Europe.

Yes indeed it is. And is rising rapidly

In the UK, before the ACts of 1920..the murder rates in the UK were far
lower. What was it...hummm 1890...(1) murder in London, and that done
with an ax.

The occupied home burglary and assault rates in the UK are magnitudes
higher than in the US.

And a little known fact..if one removes the gang killings where gang
members kill gang members..the US falls to 1.5 per hundred thousand.
Which is not bad at all for a country that has universal firearms..some
400,000.000, million of them..and a falling burglary and assault rates
already below those of the UK.

Doesnt speak well for the UK now..does it?

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
