tejek,

re:Let me also add that if the US had only 4 times the number of incidents to reflect our proportionally larger population size, I would not worry about gun control.

The FBI's Crime in the United States estimated that 67% of the 16,503 murders in 2003 were committed with firearms.

(16,503 * 0.67) / 4 = 2,764 normalized deaths - so you got nothing to worry about because that's even less than England's 3000 number you gave me.

Snap!
