Guns cause very few deaths compared with other things. Cancer and heart disease are the biggest killers in the UK, and poor diet is closely associated with them. Of course, a gang member will never come up to you and threaten you with a cream bun, so it's a different type of problem, but shops sell masses of processed crap which will probably cause most deaths if eaten, and incredibly, people are allowed to buy this stuff to feed to children. The kids have no choice; and anyway, adults are pre-programmed to seek out fatty, sugary, salty stuff, so they have as much hope of changing their eating habits as a psychopath has of resisting murdering.
The government puts out the odd campaign to re-educate people, while their capitalist system makes fat profits for them all out of this suffering.
If we really want to save lives, forget guns; ban ASDA.
