And as far as gun control, there are plenty of examples where it has drastically decreased murder rates, mainly England. There is no proof it doesn't work, as it hasn't been tried in the US. The only thing which could be used as evidence of how it works is how it affected other countries - which generally shows that it drastically improves the crime rates.


Lowered? Umm, No? You are 6 times more likely to get mugged in London than in New York. Besides, in England you can get in trouble for even having a walking stick or pocket knife.


Uh ... I find that mugging statistic very hard to believe. I can think of four people I know that have visited New York and two of them got mugged. If you have any reference for this it would be greatly appreciated, and would give your argument some validity.

England has under 100 gun related homocides a year, and much lower murder rate. I have seen this on various news stories, but a specific reference is Bowling for Columbine.
