I suppose there's probably still quite a few guns around since the ban.
It has to be said, that as sad as it is that young people are dying, the majority of it is gang related. The same all over the world . I think the most shocking thing is that the age groups are getting younger. Lord of the Flies.
Peer pressure plays a big part, and it's difficult to see things getting any better in the near future. 20 teenagers in London this year, 50 in total, it's a bit grim.
I'd be interested to read the statistics, but they are often misleading.
