IIRC, the british were worried because they had 120 murders with guns last
year.

You might want to double check that number, because it would mean that the
murder rate increased since the UK imposed tight gun control laws. Not
exactly supportive of your argument. Basiclly all of the data I have seen
shows there is no increase or decrease in homicides or the crime in general
with or without gun control. So that whole argument is completly invalid.

Lets look at homicides due to guns in each situation, shall we? Because you
saw something somewhere and the ‘whole arguement is completely invalid’?
Mike, you’re better than that.

You’re right, I should know to phrase things better. All of the data I have seen
everywhere (save the occasional pro-gun loony website that shows a positive
benefit to greater availability of guns) shows there is no correlation between
the availability of guns to law-abiding persons and the crime rate in any given
area or country. That is what invalidates the argument.
