I dread to think about the number of firearms injuries in the US, do you have any statistics on that?

To quote your article again:

"Firearms murders (in the UK) have never gone over the 100 figure in the past eight years, although they did reach a peak of 95 in 2001-02 before starting to decline."

To put this in perspective the number of firearms murders for this year in Los Angeles is 93, as of last Monday

That's 93 in 11 weeks in Los Angeles alone!!!!

LA has a population of about 8 million, the UK population is about 60 million.

I'm not sure what it will take for you to appreciate just how out of control the gun problem is in America, and the horrific price you are paying for this allegedly God-given "right".

Other industrialised nations look on in disbelief.
