Unfortunately, I went to see the British movie "Shaun of The Dead" the other day. I was shocked to learn that when the characters in the movie finally came across the only gun in town to defend themselves from the zombies, none of them knew how to load it or shoot it. They even called the cartridges "shells".
Now, I know the Movies are not the best place to find out about other cultures but if its true that most young Brits do not know how to use a gun accurately then gun control equals population control no matter who is ruling England.
