England is part of the UK, like Arizona is part of the US. The UK is formally a union between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. To be very precise, there is also a small town called Berwick-upon-Tweed that is actually a small "country" of its on in the UK, or used to be, on the English-Scottish border.

There used to be a county of Buckinghamshire, but I'm not sure if it is anymore. I know that the Royal Palace in Stockholm is a separate entity of Sweden and an own parish, the Court Parish, though.

i just assumed that the founding members of this country went with what they already knew.

They probably did. It was also a way to exclude the D.C. from Federal legislation. They used that to ban guns from D.C. for a long time, as we debated some weeks ago.

I know. I once told people on a Swedish site that you could get rid of most gun crimes in the US if you banned blacks and latinos from having guns. They, of course, called me a racist and a nazi... ::)

white people use guns in the course of commiting crimes also.
i wouldn't put latinos in the same category as african americans involving crimes with guns.
african americans are probably the worst offenders.

By us it's Yugoslavs, Albanians, Arabs and Somalians that mostly are the worst criminals. They're by far worse than most ethnic Swedish criminals.

the slavs have grown up in a war torn country and the rest of your list is darker people.
wonder if there is a correlation here....

Slavic peoples have always had a reputation for being brutal and criminal in Europe. But then again, they've always almost been poor and had some kind of dictator ruling over them. In Albania they still have the blood feud tradition. That was banned in Sweden about 7-800 years ago.
