""Americans have been shooting each other for a long, long, time, Backwoodsman, they're not going to stop on based the British example. If there even is a British example--there is some feeling that murders there are under-reported because you don't have a comprehensive, centralized reporting system. I wouldn't know if that was accurate or not, but there is an old adage that runs, "If you're going to count them, first you've got to find them." ""

Don't know where you got that Stim, but it is pure undiluted bullshit. The Police National Computer is comprehensive nationwide.

The murder identification and detection rate in the UK is extremely effectiv and few murders remain unsolved.
