It has nothing to do with what they were murdered with, but that they
were murdered for gang related business. Remove that from the
statistics and our murder rate is probably going to be
normal...regardless of weapon used.

The UK - you keep happily dismissing - has the same number of
homicides with guns in 00/01 as it had in 1998. THAT gives evidence
that the murder rate isn't tied to gun ownership, does it not?
