If you all want to pass the hat round i may be able to increase our figures to a more acceptable level.

Depends on the state. The UK rate is particularly high for a European state.
Interestingly, our overall level seems to be dragged up by Scotland and Northern Ireland.
England & Wales seem to be doing far better than most.
PWNed by those backwards conservatives (NI) or commies (S), eh?
These comparisons always piss me off.
Part of the reason for our higher murder rates is our culture. That is, in my opinion, far more relevant than our gun laws.
These studies always compare nations, but never take into account the cultural differences.
If you look at businessmen in the USA and in Japan, you see a huge difference in the way they work, look at things, and in the way they see the future.
If you look at the way people in the UK and the USA view things, you will find similarities, but also huge differences.
I have no doubt at all that they've done it just to spite the English.
the point is it's shamefull that the US can trail less advanced UK/France and Germany in murder rates.
