re:Strong gun control laws work! No they don't or England's numbers should have gone down, not up. news.bbc.co.uk Firearm crime continues to rise The figures come a day after a London operation against gun crime Gun crime in England and Wales is still rising according to Home Office figures released on Thursday. The number of crimes involving firearms increased by just under 3% in the 12 months to March 2003, to 10,250. It was well below the 35% rise in the previous year, when gun crime leapt from 7,362 firearms offences to 9,974. You missed this part: "Home Office minister Hazel Blears said: "The risk of a fatal shooting in England and Wales is still one of the lowest in the world."" Certainly much lower than the US where gun control laws are a joke and the NRA reigns supreme.
