Gun Control Reform Activism

Meanwhile, across the atlantic pond in the UK where handguns & assault rifles are banned & long guns strictly controlled, british gunshot injuries are costing a bit less than the $730 million per year here in america:

albeit a bit dated from 2005, could be more, but hardly approaching $730 mill:
Injuries inflicted by gun and knife crime are costing the National Health Service more than £3 million a year, a study suggests.
(at $1.25 per one english pound, that would be about $3.75 million per year in the UK).

31 Jul 2008 The study by the Trauma Audit Research Network (Tarn) at the University of Manchester {England} looked at all penetrating trauma injuries that resulted in immediate admission to hospital for three or more days, or death within 93 days.
A total of 1,365 patients with such injuries were admitted to half of all hospitals - 121 - in England and Wales between January 2000 and December 2005.
Firearm injuries, accounting for nearly a fifth of cases studied, cost an average of £10,307 per patient

Adjusting for England/Wales/Scottish population of ~60 million requires multiplying by ~5, so adjust the $3.75 mill to about $20 million UK, $730 million America.

Guns, really doing great work in America. Keeping hospitals working overtime.
