No Correlation
FACT:In 2004 (the most recent year for which data is available), there were 29,569 gun deaths in the U.S:
16,750 suicides (56% of all U.S gun deaths),
11,624 homicides (40% of all U.S gun deaths),
649 unintentional shootings, 311 from legal intervention and 235 from undetermined intent (4% of all U.S gun deaths combined).
-Numbers obtained from CDC National Center for Health Statistics
Number of homicides by gun in same year in England: 78.
-According to this: http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs07/hosb0207.pdf
US Population: 300,000,000
UK Population: 60,000,000
We have 5 times as many people and 150 times as many homicides by gun. Guns are basically illegal in the UK.
But there's no correlation. Yeah right.
Number of gun homicides this year in UK: 50.

But keep in mind that now only the British outlaws have guns.
I think what this speaks to is a depressing lack of activity by British outlaws. Those wankers have been slacking off.
Get off your arses, British outlaws! You have blokes that need shootin'.
the irony of it all is that our gun laws exist to protect us from the british in the first place.
