At the risk of being downvoted into oblivion: No guns.

In the US, if you're going to assault someone, they may well be packing. It makes you think twice. But in the UK, you know they're not (with close to certainty), so the only question is whether you're tougher than them.

But a large number of other countries in Europe have similar gun control, and they don't have the assault rates that Britain does.

Ah, true. I was only thinking of US vs UK.
