Again, I beg to differ! You are the one with the wonky thinking (again). You only need look at the rise since they took them, versus the history prior to that, and you will find your answer.

Do you not think that social and econmic presures might have something more to do with criminals resorting to the use of firearms in the first place, and gun control measures being implimented as a result?

What a cop out idea - maybe you can prove this theory in favor of the obvious? And besides, you keep telling me that social and economic pressures are getting better in the UK. Why are you reversing your story now? Your a funny guy!

I think you are approaching gun violence in the UK with quite a number of false and incorrect assumptions, which may hold true in the US but not in the UK.
BTW, firearms related crimes actually fell in 2007, look at the stats.

Yes - it fell to 4,019 incidents - over 11 per day! Nice!
I like your woinky thinking though. Makes for fun poking it back at ya!
