New No, he isn't even that.
That could (maybe) happen, but:
  1. That wasn't the subject; the subject was gun violence.
  2. He has no proof such a transfer would take place. Brits aren't killing each other with cars all the time since their guns were taken away after Lockerbie.

New Re: No, he isn't even that.
We're actually famously good at not killing each other with cars. I think some of the Scandihoovian nations may have better road safety than us, but that's about it.

In fact, we're pretty good at not killing each other, full stop. London (in particular; other large cities like Birmingham and Manchester are also included) does have a knife problem, though. But, as we've seen in the US, we can handwave away young black people killing each other as "just gang trouble".
