You are kidding right? There are 230,000 A class licensed people in this country and an estimated 1,000,000 guns.

There is around 9 deaths a year due to guns
13% criminals
80% of them are suicide
1-2% by cops

5% are accidental

So in 10 years there are 4.5 deaths.

Pretty blanket statement saying that what we have isn't working.

To further my above post as referenced earlier on in this thread.
If everyone used this and assumed we on average used our gun 4 times a year each AND these things are made to the highest standard (6 faults in a million) then we would still have 5 deaths ( late Friday maths)
