There must be some awful powerful airguns, imitation guns and paintball guns in GB to have killed all those people.

Where are the statistics on people killed? So far in these postings I have only seen "gun crime" numbers.

Google on “Why Britain needs More Guns” for an interesting article from the BBC website.
