Choosing to murder someone can happen with a knife, bleach, or a toaster oven. If you are claiming that it's easier to kill someone with a gun, then I would argue that it's easier to protect yourself with a gun.

In England, if someone breaks into your home, I suppose you grab your bats and knives. Are swords legal?

Are these figures accurate? I looked up crime rates in England.

Not trolling. Are the non - U.S. citizens in this thread upset because we have guns, or are they upset they do not? Surely you don't think we are going to bring our guns to your country and kill you with them.
