NY city also has a ban, but many claim it is useless as it is easy to move guns across state lines. Statistics about England in general would be interesting. I remember reading figures where the violent crime did drop for a short period after the bans, but then rose to previous levels within about a year. I looked at those numbers about ten years ago and haven't seen updates though.
I wonder if any of the victims wen't more easily knowing it was a simple knife and not a gun that caused their deaths.
