Pacifier

I can't buy a gun unless I can proove some need, (bodyguards and such; or if I'm member of a gun sports club) and you have to be full age.
I never tought about owing a gun, so I'm don't know much about those regulations.

No, I just wanted to point out, that you don't need guns to have low crime rate there seem to be other methods.

You also don't have the evidence for the rising crime in UK.

thats for australia, but i guess similar is true for the UK

It is far lower (7.7 per 1000 compared to 1.41)
I believe that guns have do not have a huge impact to the crime rate at all, there are other reasons for crime, that was my question that as been dodged, why is america so violent? Perhaps it is the american attitude that most problems can be solved with violence (and to that attitude guns would have an impact, among a lot of other factors)?
