Tim, The trouble with small moves of .3% in any measure is the size of the base used in measurement. There is noy way to see if that is just noise.

I agree but the increase in violent crime since the new laws where passed is not .3% but for several major categories it is double digit percent.

If you armed the police you would get them killing their wives on impulse as well as thefts from police of their guns.

The total crimes from these two things added together would not be significant. If violent crime keeps going up in the UK then arming at least the police will probably become necessary.
