"About 180 million guns are privately owned in the United States, and fatal shootings are on the rise. (60min) Public Affair [PG].

This crap is on HBO right now, wait, one of the mothers just said that she has never been for gun control or against a persons right to do so. Boy talkin to her just backfired.

Britain banned all handguns in 1997, and fatal shootings have been on the rise ever since.

More than three million illegally held firearms are in circulation in Britain - double the number believed to have been held 10 years ago - and criminals are more willing than ever to use them.

In the two years following Britian's 1997 ban on handguns, crimes involving handguns increased 40%.

Between 1997 and 1999 there were 429 murders in the London, the highest two-year figure for more than 10 years. At least 100 of them were drug-related; nearly two-thirds of those involved firearms.

In Britain, one in three criminals under the age of 25 owns or has access to a firearm.
