Gun Crime In Britian On The Rise

"In areas dominated by gang culture, we're now seeing guns used to settle scores between rivals as well as turf wars between rival drug dealers. We need to redouble our efforts to deal with the challenge."
There were 9,865 firearm offences in 2007/08, a rise of 89 per cent on the 5,209 recorded in 1998/99.
Lancashire Police saw a 598 per cent increase from just 50 to 349 over the period while Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Essex all saw five fold increases

The 3,306 firearm offences recorded in London in 2009 compare to 2,224 in the previous year.
A Met spokesman said: "The increase in gun crime continues to be a matter of grave concern and the subject of extensive and significant operational activity."
The force has developed a number of "action plans" to address the problem, including targeting criminals who try to take guns into nightclubs.
There were 2,646 rapes and 1,319 homophobic crimes in London during 2009, rises of 24.2% and 26.9% respectively.

Where is your defense about English gun crime now Top?
 
I don't live in London.

Gun crime is virtually non existent here (apart from that mad bloke who shot all them people in my county last year)

The moral of the story - London folk are so soft they can't settle an argument with a traditional fisticuffs bout, they have to shoot someone in the face with a homosexual gun.

Scientific fact.
 
Jesus christ this guy is uneducated.
So putting millions of more guns in England is going to lower it?

thier murder rated is 1/3 ours, educated people know this is related to thier equivalent of rednecks not running around with a gun for each day of the week.

Yeah, I'm the uneducated one Top. Clearly if they took all their guns away, gun crime would go down right?

Except it hasn't. It's risen. Significantly. Please explain how that happens Top.
 
fucking hillarious

3x less murders per capita USA vs England/france
big difference is the number of guns
also for the crime buffs, assaults/rapes track murders

i'm strictly talking about the number of gun owners that would be killed by the government in pursuit of your disarmament sweeps. should rank us pretty high among violent totalitarian governments.
 
they are your sweeps, I never mentioned a dam thing

Take the guns away from the criminal first, which is something our rednecks are too dumb to fathom.
It's never going to happen
 
It's never going to happen because you prohibitionists don't learn from history. I thought you were smarter than that.

say's the guy who's never seen the inside of a college to the guy with 2 degrees.

Society has placed a value on each of our educations:fu:
