I have to agree with GiRTh.
But it is a nice thought. Anyway, in the UK, we are pretty safe, I think?

Despite what the scare mongering gutter press like to say, we are. 2 in 100000 are murdered here, compare that to 6 in 100000 in the good ol' USA 
Most of this is probably down to gang culture that is on the up here. Only here, you can't get hold of gun so they just use knives instead!

There is another point Edwin.
When you say that 2 in 100000 are murdered here and 6 in 100000 in the U.S.A, we have to take into account, also, that the U.S.A is a massive country and the UK is much smaller.
But the main observation, I have, is, how many in the U.S.A get injured by shooting, rather than "die"
I would say that figure would be massive for the U.S.A & much, much smaller in the UK, as less people get shot.
The gun problem will always be there and there are plenty of guns in the UK, "I know"..
