You mean gun crimes occur in those countries? Sure they do.

Lets see the homicide rates per 100K pf population: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-re...

United Kingdom: 0.25

Austrailia: 1.06

Singapore: 0.16

Hong Kong: 0.03

USA: 10.3 - that would be 10 times higher than the highest one you listed.

Gun ownership per 100 persons: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_co...

Austrailia: 15

Singapore: 0.5

Hong Kong: not listed.

USA: 88 - Thats 88 guns per 100 persons...

You can create a law against gravity if you want, it wont change anything. You can tell people carrying a gun is safe, doesn't make it true.

Honestly when I saw the PI=3 thing I knew I was being trolled :)
