As you missed above - you are forgetting the stress of living in America. That is what triggers these whackos. How many times do I have tell you the same thing?
Anyway, you have a ton of gun crime related to street drugs. Its epidemic actually in the UK. Do you know that you can buy a sawn off shotgun in London for only 50 pounds? That is cheaper than I can buy it in the US! You can buy an AK-47 fully automatic for only 800 pounds! I'd have an even harder time getting something like that in the States! Don't tell me that you don't have a problem when you do. The only difference is, your problem is a problem where you and you government bury their head in the sand.
Pistols still command a premium in London though, costing upwards of 1000 pounds due to the concealment factor, but are still easily had.
