I live in a little village. I can sit out in the yard overlooking the
countryside and enjoy my pond without the remotest possibility of a
"drive-by" shooting or accidental firearm discharge posing a danger, unlike
many parts of the world where gun ownership is rife and legal, as is lack of
control of the owners.

You can tell yourself that f it makes you feel better, but the fact is
that gun-related crmes rose dramatically in the UK after total gun
prohibition was enacted.

You can tell yourself that if it makes you feel better, but the fact is
that gun-related crime in the UK is still vastly lower than in the US,
or even Canada. "Facts" make it quite clear that gun-control or the
lack of it makes almost no difference to crime rates. _attitudes_ to
guns, make a huge difference.
