Yes but the rate of violent crimes in brittian committed with knives is getting attention now, you think the anti-gun establishment revisionist government of england will ban all knives soon to stop that???? What about cars,, traffic fatalities still make up more deaths per capita in both nations compared to murders guns or not. Shall we ban cars too? it would save more lives, and before yu call these spurious corelations yu should examin your own.

criminals will use whatever means they have available

its not our fault your government took away your right to own firearms

and if you complacently gave it up on your own well what does that say ......complacency was the downfall of the romans in times past

as for your murder rate,, well lets see are we talking % per population,, cuz if yu mean total murders the U.S. population is substantially larger than that of jolly ole englands

lets see what kind of near police state yu get when brittan reaches 300+million people if yu start banning everything george orwell wont have been that far off the mark is my guess

the vast majority of countries in the world have many issues, governments throughout history have a tendency to try and restrict the freedom of individual citizens in every single government that has ever existed brittian and the usa are no exception

the big difference here is our system of government is one created and chosen by our people for the express purpose of keeping as many of our individual freedoms as possible

We have the right to arm ourselves,

unlike so many unfortunate countries that have allowed thier governments to surpress their natural right to defend themselves
