Educate don't regulate.

Drive-in drive-bys!

Oh and I have no idea where to get a gun in the UK, but I could lay my hands on any class A drug you would care to name if I wanted, and I know of no-one who would know where to get an illegal firearm from, except for perhaps the odd unregistered farm shot-gun...

So there's not always a correlation between banning thing and them becoming easier to get, but that's just personal experience.

What, where? I found this table:

Crime Statistics (Rate per 100,000)		Canada		US	US/Can
Murders with Firearms	1998		0.5	4.4	7.9x
Murders with Handguns	1998		0.23	3.3	14.5x
Murders without Guns	1998		1.3	2.3	1.8x
Robberies with Guns	1998		18	63	3.5x
Roberries without Guns	1998		78	102	1.3x

And it gives higher numbers. Note that those are already per capita.

The graph, if i'm looking at the right one is percentage of households with guns, not numerical population. As it is a percentage figure the difference in sizes of the populations would be taken in to account would it not? Not sure as its been ages since i've done an maths!
