Lebell, you do realize it works both ways, don't you? If everyone carries guns, criminals will carry them too. If people regularly shoot burglars, criminals will shoot more easily too.
In the Netherlands, deaths during a burglary are almost unheard of. I don't know the numbers for the US, but I assume they'd be higher. I could be wrong, of course...
Don't bash the British system until you've lived there, dude. It's a different society, with a different value system, and a very different view of justice. Some would argue that your system is barbaric and way too violent.
