About the same as one American city in a day.... But not to worry I'm sure that the whole "it's not guns that kill people, it's people that kill people" arguments that the US pro gun lobby keep using will start working...... sometime...... soon...... baybe......

The number of shootings may have gone up. Sorry but do not have a count.
Early this morning the Manchester Police did big raids on about 150 houses. Lots of arrests, guns and ammo found plus also drugs, bullet proof vests etc.
Here in London we're still sucking out thumbs.

I am not sure. Probably not a lot. England is a good country. Unlike America... I m only joking. But really. 100,000 people are shot in America every year.

According to Wikipedia, "since Britain banned private ownership of handguns, gun crime has steadily increased. Since 1998 number of people injured by firearms in England and Wales has more than doubled."
