The second link I provided in my references runs something like 'Gun Crime and Murder Rate Down'. So either gun crime is down, or Gordon is cooking the books.
PS. Up for a snowball fight? England V Wales? I live in England but I'm Scots so perhaps that makes it a 3 way? I get the impression that that while you live in Wales you might not be Welsh. What are we we up to?
Two way? Three way? Four way? All in the best possible taste!

New York is getting a little wacky again. A lot little gang kids running around with guns, playing cowboys and indians. Naturally, the little pricks never hit their targets and it's usually the poor schmuck passing by who gets it.
"That's what i thought you said."

Mission Valley is full of condo complexes and business complexes that criminals can blend into. Plus, when they steal your car they've got quick access to four freeways. I live in Normal Heights and we've got our share of crime up the hill from you, that's life in the big city.

LOL,

Stats. UK - population = 60 million. Philly - population = ?
Then I compared murders. And the obvious question comes up.
Why does a city like Philly murder 5 or 6 times more frequently than the entire population of the United Kindom?
For the record. I have visited Philly twice. Did the touristy bit. The touristy bit is very nice. Liberty Bell. How you are all free and equal.
My total time in the US on various visits is close to zero. I reckon 6 weeks max.
Never saw a gun crime. Never saw a knife crime. Never saw a crime of any sort.
OK I have to retract. Various peeps offered to sell me various drugs in central New York, which I'm pretty sure is/was a crime.
But no evidence of violence from my time in the US.
Also for the record. The UK does not allow you to use 'unreasonable violence' against someone who breaks into your home. Here, I prefer the American way of doing things. If some wankstain breaks into your house and threatens to to kill you, it seems perfecly reasonable for me (one) to shoot said fuckers head off

Does it happen? Absolutely. Is it a problem? Absolutely. But its not common to the point where every single citizen of that city has been a witness of it.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all
