ORIGINAL: mnottertail Sorta makes you wonder though, after the gun 'ban' in England, how many criminals own guns? Very few. Granted, there are some, as guns are allowed here (it's not a total ban). Even most gang members here are more likely to carry a baseball bat or a knife than a gun. But there are sufficiently few guns that pretty much 99.9% of crimes, either on the street or assailants in your home, aren't packing anything much beyond (possibly) a knife. Gun crimes are so few and far between, they make national headlines here because of their rarity. You can't say that of the US.
