A while our English mates are well within reason to give us grief about our rate of gun violence, one should keep in mind that Britan banned guns to curb gun violence, banned knives to curb knife violence, and now leads the civilized world in the production of shatter-proof pints after 87,000 people got 'glassed' in 2010....
My only point, being that if someone wants to hurt someone else, they don't really need firearms.
Yes, I know about the mass shooting arguement, but recall that China had a "Sandy Hook" last year with a guy wielding a knife..... :?

and the shatterproof glasses are working a treat. If the idiots go onto something else we'll ban that as well. You see the vast majority of us want to live in peace without fear of violence or being killed or injured and the vast majority of the time we do. We don't need to carry knives or guns to do that.
