"The scary thing is that your society accepts these tragic casualties in exchange for the right to carry arms and, to an outsider, look utterly moronic, naive, and stupid with them."

To an outsider from this side of the pond it looks that you have only disarmed the honest people in the UK.
Gun amnestyQuote
But shadow home affairs minister James Paice said the amnesty had "failed to address the real problem".
He said: "Nearly all gun crime involves illegally-held handguns, not legally-owned shotguns or rifles.
"The real problem is that illegal firearms are flooding into Britain because the government cannot secure our borders."
If you will check, I'm pretty sure that violent crime has increased in the UK, not decreased, since your gov. outlawed gun ownership. Same for Australia.
