Thank fully more and more Americans I know, are able to get past that and have a laugh at the ridiculousness of their situation, instead of crying.

It's hurt our Brazilian and Asian side of the business as we have to pay out more (watch out for many sites going down - some have already) but within the USA as we pay photographers/models in US it doesn't affect us so much. Some of our employees in Europe have seen their salaries (dollar based) cut by 30% ish.
If you've got money in USD you'd better sit tight and wait for it to get better ... Obama!

Types of firearms used in crime 2006/07 - handgun 43%. My point was handgun bans do not work. Britian banned them, yet they are still used in 43% of crime involving firearms.
Also look here:

In terms of Jamaica, I mis-typed. It should have been 2005, not 2006. In 2005, 1627 (some articles have it as high as 1660) murders were committed in Jamaica, although I cannot find the exact article that said over 1300 were by guns. I also mis-spoke. Jamaica has a TOTAL firearms ban, not just a ban on handguns. However there is an article here:
http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/edito...RICAN_GUNS.asp
which just says most involved a firearm.
P.S. - I don't know about the U.K., but in Canada if you use a replica firearm (which are banned) or an air gun to commit a crime, you will be charged as if you used a real firearm. I would assume the U.K. is the same since THEY INCLUDED replica and pellet guns as FIREARMS in their stats.
