Obviously disarmament doesn't work.  You should read what your own media 
has to say about it. 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2656875.stm

a few snippets:
"The failure of this general disarmament to stem, or even slow, armed 
and violent crime could not be more blatant."

"Much is made of the higher American rate for murder. That is true and 
has been for some time. But as the Office of Health Economics in London 
found, not weapons availability, but "particular cultural factors" are 
to blame.

A study comparing New York and London over 200 years found the New York 
homicide rate consistently five times the London rate, although for most 
of that period residents of both cities had unrestricted access to 
firearms."

"You are now six times more likely to be mugged in London than New York."
