Comparing incidents in the US and britain is not fair, since America varies
so much. Britain is equivilant in size to a state.

In the large cities, there’s a heck of a lot more gang and drug violence.
This means a lot more dead cops. In most rural areas, it never happens.
The parts of th ecountry where there is th egreatest amount of gun
ownership – the rural and suburban counties in the south and west – gun
violence is very low. Excepting drug users killing their fellow drug users,
you hear of very little violent crime. Certainly, nobody’s home gets broken
into while they’re at home. It’s sucide for criminals.
Criminals know which areas are places you don’t go to commit crime.
Places where over 90% of the homeowners own several guns are not safe
to rob. It’s a great deterrant.

In some of the big cities, like San Fancisco, they have a different culture
alltogether – they rely on the police, and abhor guns. they just passed a
ban on guns. You will see violent crime rise in San Fransisco shortly. by
March, every legal gun owner in Sanfransisco must turn in their guns, whil
the cirminals get to keep theirs…cause they ignore the law. It’s going to be
a free for all.
