Great Britain Banned Guns But Violent Crime Higher Than U.S.

Today I heard someone tout the British and how their gun ban reduced the gun crime in Britain.  Let’s take a look; Britons suffer 1,158,957 violent crimes per year, which works out at 2,034 per 100,000 residents. By contrast the U.S. has a rate of 466 per 100,000 residents, which would not even be in the top ten in the European Union according to the U.K. Daily Mail.  Maybe it is because criminals know the British are unarmed? 

Would you put a sign in your window or yard advertising that your home is a gun free zone?  Guns are not the problem; it is the people using guns in ways they are not meant to be used that’s the problem.  Was there a push to get rid of planes after September 11, 2001?
