Fair call. To clear that up I would count urbanised centres of a similar population size and density would be a reasonable basis of comparison. I imagine England would have a large number of small communities with zero gun crime as well.

"London has far more gun crime than much of the US does"

Can we get a figure to back that up please? The MET places gun crime figures in greater London at 1570 (http://www.met.police.uk/crimefigures/) with a population of approx 8 million. Which American populations would you compare this to and what are their figures?

I've spent a significant amount of time in London and have never once run into any firearms incidents. It would be interesting to me to see the data behind this.

Not really sure what your point is here. But anyway, here is the link to the report: http://www.stateoftheocean.org/research.cfm

Listed in the Guardian's article. Peer reviewed source material is at the bottom of each of the reports.

That is a really excellent quote, one that needs to get used a whole lot more. I've had a lot of fun recently describing the difference to friends.
