And yes you can say without any doubt,
The gun laws in the UK are working !!
The citizens dont have guns, but the criminals do.
So any time a criminal wants to Rape, Rob, assault a citizen, the citizen cant fight back. (Which is AWESOME if your the criminal)
So the UK gun laws are working to disarm the law abiding citizens.
this is why there are fewer gun deaths in the UK, but the rate of all other crime is very high in a country where all other factors contribute to a low crime rate.
Here in the US, the rate of death from handguns is higher, because we shoot the criminals. contributing to lower rate of other crimes but adding to the number of gun deaths.
I actually feel very safe knowing that the law abiding citizens I know are carrying guns, I wish more would.
