Since the UK's gun ban in 1997, gun crime has gone up 89% in a decade: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1223193/Culture-viol...

"The latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent.

In some parts of the country, the number of offences has increased more than five-fold."

Unfortunately the Daily Mail isnt really a news source. Try:

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/science-research-s...

> In 2010/11, firearms were involved in 11,227 recorded offences in England and Wales, the seventh consecutive annual fall and a decrease of 13 per cent compared with the previous year (when 12,976 offences were recorded).
