It is a daft notion to think that the UK doesn't have serious crime issues. You can even be a native Englishman and come back for a holiday and drive in a friends car to a garage for a fill up and have several lunatics invite you for a fight on the other side of the road. That simply isn't normal behaviour beyond England. It isn't all about crime as that is only what gets put in the books. The UK is a horribly primitive and savage place and a prime example of how modern capitalism doesn't work. These kids causing problems should have had parents looking after them and instead they either have both parents working or else have a slag Mum who kicked them out because they were annoying and no Dad. Either way, the result is a weirdo hanging out on walls outside a petrol station asking strangers for a fight. That is real, that exists out there.

It has nothing to do with guns though. Guns would simply increase the possibility of me being killed by odd children who hang outside petrol stations.
