It would certainly have an affect on ammunition availability as well

And in the UK, where strict gun laws are in place, you'd be hard pressed
to count that many in a month throughout the entire country.


True enough, but firearm related homicides were at the same low level
in Great Britain even _before_ their strict gun control laws were
enacted; by some measures, they have gone up since then.



As have home invasions, stabbings, assaults with or without deadly weapon
(because those defending themselves are the ones who are prosecuted),
robberies, etc.
