Well, I'm still having to ignore threads, but at least it's local traffic.

US gun homicide rate 2004 - 11,624
http://www.ichv.org/Statistics.htm

UK gun homicide rate 2006 - 50
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_the_United_Kingdom

These are the most recent figures available.


11,624 / 50 = 232.5

In the UK the chance of being murdered by gun is **less than one in a
million**
in any year.
