Do criminals in any "gun free" nations still find ways of getting and using weapons?

From experience, they use knives and screwdrivers, if anything. Only really a threat at short range. The idea that outlawing guns will empower the criminals is not something that really happens.

Criminals here don't want to use guns because of the extended prison sentence of "armed" robbery. Why serve ten years just for taking some money when you can attempt the same thing without a gun and not get a sentence like you've murdered someone?

The upshot is that people don't get killed quite so often.

In the U.K. Guns aren't obtainable or legal like in the USA for example. Gun crime is very rare here because guns are so unobtainable to most people... but if you know the "right" people, you could get your hands on one. I personally could get hold of a gun if I wanted one, though it would be highly illegal.

You don't have an expert, If you can add one and one, you should know the answer,
The more guns that are around the more people are going to get shot,
You see that from the country's who don't have them

Yeah, there have been serious issues in countries with strict weapons control laws stopping organized criminals from getting weapons. It stops the more small time criminals from getting their mitts on anything but borders are too difficult to secure to stop those who are really determined to get something to kill people with. And some criminal organizations get real inventive with their methods, too, so they don't need things that would qualify as weapons according to the law.

The only country that has had really good success with restricting weapons is Australia, and that's an incredibly unique situation where there are very few poorly controlled internal regions that are friendly to human life(most of central Australia is pretty uncontrolled but will kill the average human in a matter of mere minutes if you're unlucky, hours if you're lucky) and no land borders with any other countries as well as a large, open and fairly uncontested maritime region surrounding it.

They just don't use guns. Which means they don't have school/Mall shootings.

Yeah gang members have guns but they only ever use them on eachother

Are you aware that there are no 'gun free' nations?
A battery of tests are required to get a gun in Japan. They have a .06 death rate by gun per 100,000 people. The country with the most guns per capita, the Unites States, (more than twice the guns per capita than any other country)is at around 11.

And how exactly would one get rid of all the guns in the US?
We're not going to hand them over or register them.
They tried that in NY state a few years ago with their SAFE Act.
95% non-compliance, and that's in gun hating NY.

In Britain, they do but its mostly the top end criminals who have fire-arms. Gangs have knives, which is a less efficient way of killing people. This partly explains why European countries have lower murder rates.

They do. And i'm ashamed to say it's often service personnel who bring illegal weaponry into the country and sell them on.

Everyone has knives and cars. If you want to kill then it's not difficult to find a way.

Gun violence is a symptom of an overall crime problem in the US.

There have been numerous gun shootings related to terrorism. I'm referring in particular to the incident at a concert, I believe it was, several years ago. But I believe they are using trucks now because it is probably either harder to get the guns or easier for the authorities to find out you have them.

Yes if a criminal wants a gun they will get one. Just as easily as breaking any other law.

If you want concrete numbers I'm afraid you're out of luck. Those type of things aren't tracked until the criminal has been caught.

Of course. It's still a smaller number than in the U.S. no matter how you spin it, though.
