The reason the gun crime is lower is because everyone else doesn't have one.
If everyone except the criminals, in the States, stopped having guns, the gun crime would drop. If you stopped selling them in Walmart, gun crime would drop.
The same people who say you can't change the constitution are the same who say "Ignore the Bible, it was written when those things were relevant.".

Yup civil wars are always so much more fun if it is not your country having them no thanks things are tense enough in the political social realm lets not light a match and throw it at the powder keg ok.
Again can't really use the stats from a country who population is alot less than ous that smaller populatuon would be and is alot easier to police and control especially sense everyhting you get is basically imports and can be easily managed to reduce the amount of illegal imports try doing that for a country the size of america lol ya not gonan happen.
united states 307,875,000 4.53% wp
united kingdom 61,634,599 0.91% wp
so first we would have to de arm 307 million people for the gun ban laws to be truly effective (won't happen of course) then we would have to properly police and strictly control a land mass easily 10 fold the size of the united kingdom not counting alaska and hawaii, as you can see pie in the sky ideals are just that pie in the sky ideals.
and on top of that you guys have had how many years of these gun ban laws and they were more than likly implemented when the average citizen was to poor to even see a gun let alone own a gun, so you got in befor the de arm the population thing would effect you.
ill admit you have a lower gun crime rate but then look at countries like south africa that have legislation outlawing gun and columbia ya guess what not legal to own a gun in columbie or most middle eastern countries as well.
and there gun crime rates are off the chart because they have had a voilent hisory yes but at the same time gun had all ready worked their way to far into those societies that even with legislation it would be impossible to remove all guns.(sam for america alot of people dont want to believe it but we have had and will more than likely have a violent past and future it will be our own downfall honestly)
all im saying is there are much worse countries where gun violence is alot worse and out of control, and most if not all countries that have legislation banning or making the aquirance of firearms hard have a relativly high fire arm crime rate for their populations.
