   How could any teenagers be shot to death in a country with such strict   
   gun control?  I would also like to know how many were stabbed to death   
   with knives vs. shot with guns, because it is obvious that you are   
   attempting to justify strict gun control by combining rare gunshot   
   injuries with common knife injuries.  If knives were successfully   
   outlawed in the UK, then British youth would resort to whacking each   
   other with sticks, stones, bricks, frypans, etc. simply because they   
   are uncivilized.   
      
   If British people (especially the English) are so uncivilized and   
   violent that they can't be left around sharp or blunt objects, then   
   perhaps they should all be put in straightjackets and confined in   
   the rubber ward of mental hospitals to protect them from themselves.
