OK, I've done that. No-one got killed. Then I banned guns in the UK, and 
our murder rate was suddenly one twentyth of the USA.

And I have a theory about how this works. My theory goes like this - when 
you have a lot less guns in the population, you get a lot less people 
being killed by guns.

Let me know what you think of that theory.

Anyway - I'm all in favour of having lots of guns in America. That's 
because I never go there.

Healing the effect sounds good to me. When I fell into a bed of nettles 
and ow ow ow, the cream I put on my arm worked so much better than cutting 
down all the nettles.
