When was the last bazooka or granade launcher used by a street criminal? Never because they are illegal and kept out of the country. And who cares if there is the occasional crook who gets hold of a gun? That one armed guy doesnt justify a nation of gun toting vigalantes ready to go postal as soon as they cath their wife cheating on them. Whoever siad guns are easy to get in england, well i bet you cant afford one can you? Because they illegal they are less accesible and hence more expensive. And way out of the price range of the avergae burgalar.
Good first post. The very fact that the UKs police are one of the few forces around the world who do not use guns as standard is proof enough. In America almost any security guard is likely to have a gun.

It's funny how we hardly have any guns in this country, but the government hasn't taken control of us in some evil plan. In fact in my opinion we have a lot more freedom where it really matters than the USA. Americans are entitled to own deadly weapons, we get REAL freedom of speech and REAL democracy...
