Something to think about.

I'm not an authority, but my gut says no, it's economic.

If gang bangers really are low on ammo, OR can't get any (which I doubt); they would just cut down on range time. (Rented guns from the firing line - so they don't have to get fingerprinted - for a registered piece they wouldn't use any way.)

But even if I'm right - it doesn't mean the implication of your thread isn't dead on. The Brit's stabbing deaths are at 30 year highs, with their "gun safety measures" in place, as of the start of '09. source
