As for England's much-vaunted gun-grab: check out their swiftly rising rates of all violent crimes, across-the-board, for the last decade or so. Check out their 100%-plus increase in "hot" burgalaries and home-invasions. Check out the assault rate in Scotland, which is now the highest in the developed world, according to the UN. Then get back to me.

So, if you have a 12 guage shotgun, you're unarmed. The pregnancy analogy makes no sense to me. Have a rifle, you're armed. Don't have a rifle, you're unarmed.
as for Scotland, much of the violence has to do with factional differences.
As for England, crime rate=much lower than ours.
