Gun crimes in England have almost doubled since 1997, when a ban on
firearms began.

According to the Sunday Times of London, crimes in which guns were
used numbered 4,671 in 2005-06.

Also, government officials report that most gun crime is committed by
children and teenagers under 18 years old.

David Davis, the shadow home secretary, told the Telegraph: "What this
shows is that the majority of these crimes are committed by youngsters
under 18.

"The government's policy has failed with the group most responsible
for this increase in crime. It is long past time the Government
stopped believing its own propaganda, and took measures to get a
grip."
