Murder Rates - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...der_rate#2000s
UK rate was actually England & Wales. My bad. Still, exclusion of Scotland and NI is less than 7 million out of 60 million.

Murder Method - http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/cvict_c.htm#weapon
This is a trend page, my previous source was from the same site, but a hard datasheet that I can't find. And according to this, 68% was conservative, it should be 71%

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs05/hosb1105.pdf - 73 homicides, 8.5%. I rounded to 9%

Has anyone any ideas as to why this might be? Personally, I think the huge amount of guns have something to do with it.
