In Britain, the general population has never had, or wanted, casual access to firearms, they were never commonly available and then restricted. (particlularly handguns, shotguns and rifles for farmers and hunters maybe a bit more common).
The restriction on owning firearms only ever affected a very small fraction on the population, changes in overall violent crime rates would be due to toher factors. IMHO |

Thank you Zen for those murder-rate stats, but here we all know the UN is a useless tool of, uhm, fascist! No seriously I have heard it.
As for a Southern, both C and D are reasonable answers actually. C - violence, D- insest, both actions we southerns supposedly practice in abundance. Maybe a combination of the 2 would be more precise. E - shoot the no-good varmit, then set up the video camera before screwing your sister.

Eh. I have lived in the "South" since 1994. Other time was around the US and overseas, I was born and raised in the "North". For every violent redneck in the South I can show you an equally violent person in the North, pick a city any city, Boston, New York, Chicago, how about New Jersey, talk about some one minded people. The whole premise is a bit ridiculous.

From, and about, the Southern Belles. Maybe that's why the Southern Gentlemen are violent.
![]() Seriously though, there are nut jobs everywhere... and in the Midwest and far north, they even elect them governor.
