Scumbria, re: In England people don't get shot for the simple reason that they don't have guns. England, unlike the USA doesn't suffer from the illusion that homicide, never mind the weapon, is a viable solution to any problem. (Unless we're talking Football) Eric

In England people don't get shot for the simple reason that they don't have guns. There aren't very many people willing to kill someone else with a knife, but a gun provides an easy, disconnected way to take someone else's life. I don't have the specific facts for England but the US has more non-gun murders then most industrialized countries. You would think that the greater availability of guns would cause murders to use other weapons less but that is not the case. It seems to me that we are just a lot more likely to want to kill in the US for some reason. Tim
