Ok, so what was the rate before they outlawed guns? No or little change. You can' t compare us to England. We are different culture. And frankly after spending so much time over there for work, I don' t want to be like England.

For us to adopt these violent crime statistics, it take more than gun control. I like our american culture. We are agressive. We are proud and We take what we want. As a friend of mine in Hastings told me, " We don' t have any rights over here, and never did, it was just smoke and mirrors" .

I would rather have gunfights in the middle of the street than to give up my freedom. America worked so hard to get this freedom from, you guess it, and now is so quick to give it away. For safety. I am a biker you see. So I see this on several levels. We are the most interesting and inovating culture on the planet. If you been all over Asia as you claim then you see the effects of rote memory learning. Is that the culture you like. Or over in UK and Europe, thier relaxed work days. And laziness. No stress. I about pull my hair out when deal with Spain. 6 hour work days, You can' t get work done in 6 hours. Is that what you want?

Again, if you have been to these countries, get off that double decker bus and out of the Strand area, learn the culture. Unfortanely, I am forced to learn it, for work. And after learning, don' t want any part of it.

Why don' t you just go away.
