1. They may well have just turned to using knives instead, because its easier.

2. I would hazard a guess that ammunition being expensive at the moment could also be a reason.

3. Sounds good, we don’t have much gun crime in this country but their are still plenty of guns moving around and any serious criminals probably have access to at least one.

   We’re probably never get it completely under control, but it seems to be working.

4. I mean, I like bashing the UK as much as the next guy. However, this is great news – I’d be interested to know what’s happening instead though.

5. Has anyone told Jacob Rees-Mogg of this Brexit benefit?

6. Shouldn’t a decent reporter include a stat for all murders alongside the lack of *gun* deaths?

7. This a story to keep and use in any of those debates with Americans. They often say that it is impossible to remove guns once they are in circulation.
