"Statistics are just out for England and Australia. Both have had a raise in crime in the last few years. Why? The govt took the public's weapons away, pledging that "we will keep you safe" ...
erm.... did we ever have our weapons "taken away" from us in England ? We never had them in the first place.
Some of you guys make it sound like a warzone over there in the U.S.A. I was thinking that I might want to go and live in your beautiful country one day but with that kind of gun-slinging mentality it makes me realise how lucky we are in England to be able to walk around after dark or go to a cash ATM without fearing for our safety.
I suppose the USA has always been a gung-ho kind of country - but hell - we're in the 21st century now - it ain't the wild west ! With a Gun Policy like that I'm really not surprised that you've got the second highest murder rate in the world (after South Africa)
