The UK is not the US. Different cultures, different ideas. People in the US don't trust police to do everything for them, including protect them. UK culture emphasizes government protection for almost everything, including a ban pointy objects.

Suggesting the laws of one country would have the same effects (both positive and negative) on the other isn't really valid.

In the UK they have "subjects", in America we have citizens.

I wasnt suggesting one law for both countries, and i agree there are different cultures, but its blatantly obvious that something has to be done to curb gun related deaths in the US. how its done is of course up to your citizens and politicians.

Well, you suggested that gun control works for the UK. What do you suggest for the US?

That source you're getting your information from? Yeah, you might want to consider changing it. I have no idea where you're getting the "can't say 'suicide'" bit, either. Are you just making stuff up?

Funny. In the US, we consider these actions to be "paranoid as fuck".

In America, we have a car in every garage. In jolly old England they have a camera up every bunghole.

Besides I think the country that bans any object that might frighten a little old lady need not lecture the US about paranoia.
