The following article below was shared with me by a friend. I post it here so that anyone who reads it may be more informed about the reality of the facts on this topic.

In 1996 a man killed 15 kindergarteners and a teacher at a school in Dunblane, Scotland. As a response, the British government totally banned handguns of any sort, rifles of any sort, and in theory limited shotguns to farmers who need to protect their livestock, and to protect themselves from livestock that turned violent toward humans.

The chart below shows the results of that gun ban, both as
guns were turned in and as the risk of armed resistance fell.
In 21 years, the U.K. violent crime rate has from 5 per
thousand to 27 per thousand, or as the U.S. measures violent crime, from
500 per 100,000 population to 2,700 per 100,000 population.
Over the same time period, the United States violent crime
rate has fallen from 586.4 per 100,000 population to to 394.4 per
100,000.

Clearly, England is not the gun free, crime free paradise our
Adversaries paint it. In fact, London has reported more murders so far
this year than New York City, even though Gotham itself’s crime raters
are elevated by restrictive gun laws.
Clearly, then, the gun control industry is out to pull the
wool over our eyes. Which means it is time for us to become the best
informed people on Earth about gun controls.
