Yup, let's give credit where credit's due. Those English folks surely are
benevolent, non-violent types....  Except at soccer games.   Remember Belgium?
30+ Dead because of rowdy *English* fans.

Having lived in Europe for many years, I know how dreaded these English
soccer fans are.  Usually the rioting would start on the passage over to
the host country.

The point is this, if a person insists on being violent, he'll find a way.
Gun or no gun. 

Furthermore, who cares what you anti-gun nuts think anyway....
