British law enforcement officials have learned this year what the pro-gun community has been preaching for decades: guns don’t hurt people—people hurt people.

Attacks involving corrosive fluids like drain cleaner are on the rise in England, apparently as the result of a crackdown on guns and knives, according to a report from USA Today.

Where is the evidence that "crackdowns" on either guns or knives even correlate with an increase in this kind of attack, let alone are caused by them? The availability of guns and knives hasn’t changed significantly in recent years in the UK so I don’t see how that can be related with a recent change in acid attacks.
 
I think the main theme here is that people kill and maim other people. The devices used, doesn't matter. That is the fallacy of the anti-gun argument. Humans were killing each other off for hundreds of years, prior to the advent of firearms.
