Looks like that handgun ban in England did a lot of goodover a story about some recent gang killings in England. In McBride World, that qualifies as an in-depth investigation.
A few things she didn't mention:
There were a total of 50 homicides involving firearms in England and Wales in their reporting year 2005-06.
There were 8,478 homicides involving handguns and 2868 involving other firearms in the US in 2005, according to DOJ reports.
Milwaukee had 122 homicides in 2005 and 103 in 2006. More than 75% of the homicides in 2005-06 were committed with a firearm. Source: Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission.
Milwaukee has more gun homicides than all of England and Wales. If that's a failed gun policy in Britain, maybe we could stand a little of that kind of failure.
