Does this match the experience in the UK?? Are there any equivalent "before/after" figures available for the UK??

Mho,
yes has a familiar ring to it!!
We have rising gun crime but we have no hand guns, semi auto rifles they are all illegal, but the criminals do!!
I think the last figure out was that .1% of gun crime was committed with a legally held firearm,but no one listens because it doesn't sell newspapers, gun crime is sensationalised by the media for the media, they wouldn't know the truth if it bit them on the arse

You might want to read the Gun Facts book here:
http://www.gunfacts.info/

It's got lots of numbers and comparisons. I recommend it to everyone I can.

The problem we have in England is the ammount of toy guns. You can buy a toy gun for £30 and then it is so easy to convert this plastic gun into a fully automatic Mac 10 equivalent. I hear thats what all the gangsta's are using!

At least, thats what I read in the Daily Mail!

It is true the gun situation here in the UK is bad and getting worse all the time. Not only that there needs to be a tightening of the gun laws.

I know this is true I read it in the paper's
