"I think it 's because their laws prevent most criminals from obtaining guns ."
"No , they do not . I know several people in England who posess weapons the bought on the street . How are the gun laws in england working when you can buy a machine gun ? Before the ban , england had lower numbers when it came to firearms related deaths . They also had lower crime numbers . The sociological differences between England and the United States are not be be discounted . It is interesting to note that crime rates in England seem to be rising now that the gun ban has been around for a while . There is even a movement by public officials to arm police officers in response to the rising rate of violent crime . There isa n article and debate about it right here on the forums . The biggest difference lately in the statistics in England in the US is not the numbers , it is how they are recorded . If a guy is confronted by three people outside a bar and shot to death , but the gus get off during trial , it is still recorded in America s a three person homocide . In england , it is NOT recorded . I get the London Times , and they have done several articles accusing th British government of manipulating crime figures . I think that if we in America only recorded solved crimes in our crime statistics , we might become one of the most cime free contries in the world !"
