gollark: The UK seems to have substituted the possible gun crime problem an alternate UK would/might have for a knife crime problem instead.
gollark: High gun murders → states try and implement laws to remove guns.
gollark: The causation might run the other way round though.
gollark: What do you mean "don't work"?
gollark: Probably too expensive to buy since nukes are hard.
