I was talking specifically about the US vs. UK and Norway. Not the same thing as North America vs. Europe. We call your stunt "Moving the goalposts", and it doesn't wash.

I don't have the numbers to hand right now (some of us are working) but the last check I made which covered, I believe, year 2005, the per capita gun-homicide rate for the UK was <1/10 of the US rate - working from memory we had approximately 50 or 60 deaths, which pro-rated by population should have produced around 350 in the US - the US actual was in the region of 3,600. Go figure, it's not a giant leap, provided you're willing and able to accept the resulting correlation (which obviously the NRA would deny as a matter of principle).

Now I'm out, before you start waving your gun at me.
