Firearms: US vs. UK

Not really a competition, just two articles I found today.  See if you can tell the difference!

Gun laws that constrain the law-abiding

-- "For James Andre Smartt-Ford, 16, Michael Dosunmu, 15, and Billy Cox, 15, the hand-wringing by police and politicians over the escalation of gun crime comes a little late: all three have been shot dead in south London over the past 10 days.
....
We have, post-Dunblane, what are said to be the toughest gun control laws in the world. They have actually proved strikingly ineffectual.  Gun crime has doubled since they were introduced."

Mother fires three shots at intruder

-- "A woman home alone with her two children in Morgan County's Coalfield community fired a gun three times Friday morning to protect herself and her family."

Article 1 c/o Of Arms and the Law, Article 2 c/o T.J.

One - sadly is in the UK and one in US - but your heading says that.

I've heard so much about those shootings, it is so incredibly sad these things happen.
