how best to ensure public safety and how deaths involving firearms can most effectively be prevented.

...there are far more homicides involving people than there are involving guns.

Gun politics in the United Kingdom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Politics portal

Gun politics in the United Kingdom generally places its main considerations on how best to ensure public safety and how deaths involving firearms can most effectively be prevented. The United Kingdom has had one of the lowest rates of gun homicides in the world since before gun control legislation became stricter from the late twentieth century. In the United Kingdom in 2009 there were 0.07 recorded intentional homicides committed with a firearm per 100,000 inhabitants; for comparison, the figure for the United States was 3.0, about 40 times higher, and for Germany 0.2.[1] With the exception of Northern Ireland, police officers in the United Kingdom do not routinely carry firearms.[2]
