I tried to look the sources of that first post "infoblast". After checking first source, the tone is quite different than in that "pro-gun" blast.

"Opposition leaders said the disclosures were a "damning indictment" of the Government's failure to tackle deep-rooted social problems. "

"Chris Grayling, shadow home secretary, said: "This is a real damning indictment of this government's comprehensive failure over more than a decade to tackle the deep rooted social problems in our society, and the knock-on effect on crime and anti-social behaviour. "

This one I already mentioned.

"More than 20 people a day were taken to hospital accident and emergency departments in England last year after being hit, kicked, scratched or bitten. Alcohol is blamed as a factor in half of the incidents and raises further questions over 24-hour drinking. "

"Researchers admit that comparisons of crime data between countries must be viewed with caution because of differing criminal justice systems and how crimes are reported and measured. "

Not a word about handgun ban.

Also, the quote about Harvard study was a quote about a quote. Quoted by American Civil Rights Union (quite pro-gun folks I suppose). Here is the Harvard study as a original (I haven't read it yet).
