England thought they could ban a tool and their problems would go away, but they forgot that criminals don't generally respect laws. Their crime rate with respect to gun related crime has been rising since they banned handguns. So for them the NRA was/is correct - if you ban guns only criminals will have them. It's not Joe average gun owner that's killing 30K+ people in the US every year, but Joe average does once in a while protect his family and property from criminals with a gun. Eric, the statistics in the following links do not seem to support the suppostion you make above: gun-control-network.org Please note the immense difference between the US, and England and other countries in the rate of gun deaths per 100,000 population!!! cse.unsw.edu.au ted
