Here's the numbers.

You don't get it. You can't "give the English their guns back". I never 
owned a gun, you can't give back what I never had.

And I don't want to own a gun. And I don't want to live in a country where 
so many people don't feel safe unless they're carrying a gun and have guns 
in the house.
