But practically its the most retarded reasoning you can have. In all my time in the UK, I have not once seen a gun and no gun related incedent has happend to anyone I know, can you say the same?, I have only seen the police and army have guns. This is because only the most serious criminals, no, not those who rob your house at night, im talking organised criminal sydicates.

now people associate guns with murder in england and thus only the top criminals will use them (top criminals who you will never meet in your life). And top criminals it is well known, will rarley target members of the public, they go after the serious money. And I tell you now, if a report comes through of someone having a gun, the police will go mental and send all they have after them.

Thus an explanation why it is safer without guns than with. Results prove it, doesnt matter how you spin it, the results are places without guns, have less deaths per 100,000 FACT.
