Stats show we have highest crime in US where we have the most gum laws. In fact, lots of people think its racist that blacks in cities cant legally own guns to protect themselves from all the criminals. Blacks make up less that 13% of population but account for 49% of all homicides. Most victims are black and are shot by other blacks. In Chicago last week 25 people - mostly black - got shot despite strict gun laws. The real solution to the problem would be to let people have guns for protection. Stats shoiw over and over that an increase in gun ownership lowers crime. While UK has low gun killing stats they have the highest violent crime rate compared to US and Europe
