Someone posted above of crimes in Europe being committed with a firearm as being, I believe, 1 out of a 1000 and in the USA as being one out of 10. The statistics were provided by the author of the post, so I don't know the accuracy. However, I read the other day that Europe is having an increase in "gun related crime". This from a continent that has gun control. So, it brings us back to the over used, but true statement: ..."when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"...
