If you will do the study, you will find the highest murder rates by firearms are in places in America
where the right to keep and bear arms has been abridged - Detroit, Chicago, Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Oakland.
You see, in those places guns are kept from the honest people who just want to live, so the criminal element has a turkey shoot.

Firearms top the list of items passengers are prohibited from taking past airport security checkpoints and onto airplanes. Yet, during 2012 that didn't stop travelers from trying to get more than 1,500 handguns and other firearms past Transportation Security Administration officers at U.S. airports.

Mine don't cost me that, not even close.
I'm free and therefor not subject to the curmudgeonly offscours of 'lords' or 'queens' like you.
P.S., ....you can clickity clack all you want. - (You still don't know what you are talking about)
In your country, such an advance by a subject on a freeman would call for a smite on the face.

Oregon Mall shooter was stopped by an armed Citizen
Media blackout: Oregon mall shooter was stopped by an armed citizen - Virginia Beach Conservative | Examiner.com
Not only has the national media refused to acknowledge this aspect of the deadly event, but law enforcement has as well.
Of course, the Obamamedia is in full support of even harsher gun control laws and it should come as no surprise that they would suppress any story which provides proof that lawfully armed citizens do prevent crimes and save lives.
Here are a few facts about armed Americans:
-In 1982, the town of Kennesaw, Georgia, passed an ordinance which required all heads of household to have at least one gun in the house. The burglary rate immediately dropped an astounding 89 percent. Ten years after the law was passed, the burglary rate was still 72 percent less than it was in 1981.
-Armed citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as the police do every year in this country (1,527 to 606).
-A 1996 University of Chicago study concluded that states which passed concealed carry laws reduced
their murder rates by 8.5 percent,
rapes by 5 percent,
aggravated assaults by 7 percent,
and robbery by 3 percent.
-According to the National Safety Council, with guns being used 2.5 million times a year in self defense against criminals,
firearms are actually used more than 80 times more often to protect lives, rather than to take lives.
-A 1979 Justice Department study entitled Rape Victimization in American Cities, concluded that of more than 32,000 attempted rapes,
32 percent were actually committed.
But when a woman was armed with a gun or knife, only 3 percent of the attempted rapes were actually committed.
-Another Justice Department study found that 57 percent of felons agreed that
"criminals are more worried about meeting an armed victim than they are about running into the police."

Well my friend Robin Hood used a bow and arrow and he was made a Freeman of the City of York in 1382 just after the Peasants Revolt.
His arch-enemy was John Gisbourne who was the Lord Mayor of York. This is new information and I thought with your interest in weapons you might like to know

Too bad you are now again subjects to a material monarch again.
Just a shame.........
No guns but plenty of crime in your merry ole' England.
Amazing how the criminal element flourishes when good people are not allowed to defend themselves.
Do you want stats.?
Just to show how lawless your homeland is?
I think I will,......benefit you and the readers with the latest crime stats.

Looks to me like you have the highest crime rate by far.
Not even close.
England has a crime rate of over 10% of it's total population!
No other country on this chart-(the highest number of crimes); is even in the same ballpark.
The U.S. is around 3%
I'm sure those criminals over the pond are much nicer to you though!
Waaah! Blimey!

wow, if you don't see the hurt people around you.... then you need to open your eyes...
these are UK stats by the way.
two women a week. it might not be by guns but the violence is there.
sin and violence is a global problem, don't try and make it a US one.
it is not the gun that kills but the person and as been said before you don't need a gun to kill, you can make almost any tool into a weapon for death.
the gun is just another tool until it is misused. it by itself is neither good or evil.
when people take it out into the jungle to keep themselves safe from tigers, would that make it evil?
