In England, crimes involving handguns have gone up 17 percent over the past six months. It has necessitated bobbies in England to carry guns in high-crime "hotspots," a conTROversy, as is pronounced in the Mother Country.
This doesn't seem to follow the liberal logic. For example, weren't guns banned there in response to the horrible Scottish massacre in 1996, when numerous children were butchered? Yep.

It makes life easier for the bad guys, that's for sure. When a country bans guns, it's gone bad.After the 1996 shooting of 16 kids in Dunblane, Scotland, the United Kingdom passed one of the strictest gun-control laws in the world, banning its citizens from owning almost all types of handguns. But that didn't cut down on violent crime, which nearly doubled from 1998-99 to 2002-03.Australia also saw violent crime pick up after it banned private possession of most firearms in 1996. Increases in violent crime averaged 32% a year in the six years following the ban. Armed robbery rates showed increases of 74%.
Nothing increases gun violence like the sure knowledge your potential victim is unarmed.
