Ah, but england has many more stabbings/poisonings/beatings to death than America PNA. If people wanna kill other people, they'll find a way... we americans just like to do it the easiest way. Which is most definately firearms.
Statistically speaking, however, if you add all types of murders and attempted murders together, America, Britain, France, Canada and pretty much all the other industrialized nations in the world have approximately the same rates PNA. So, again, guns don't kill people, people kill people... and occasionally, so do water buffalo.
