OK that sounds like an admirable goal. If gun control will work, just exactly how much of our Inalienable Right do they need to take to stop illegal guns? Or is this all just Anti-gunners B.S. and they could not care less about our safety, and they just want to persecute guns and us gun owners no matter what the cost to our Society?In press conferences, gun violence prevention advocates across the country are kicking off a campaign this week to educate the public about the devastation caused by illegal guns and to announce initiatives to disrupt the illegal gun business. These advocates are state organization members of States United to Prevent Gun Violence and Million Mom March Chapters of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.
England has banned guns in 1996 they must be pretty safe by now, so lets look how well massive gun control is working to allow its citizens to feel and be safer?
Link Cops hold seven in gun gang raids
ARMED police today arrested seven suspected gun-gang members during raids in Liverpool. Officers from the Matrix team swooped on the group, some as young as 15, at their homes in Croxteth and Norris Green this morning.
The raids follow a series of shootings, which have left homes in the two areas riddled with bullets and residents terrified.
Gun battles have been sparked by rivalry between estate gangs in Norris Green and the Croxteth-based Strand Crew.. . . . . . .
On April 24, drive-by gunmen shot a 17-year-old member of the Norris Green gang from the window of a speeding 4x4. . . . . .
The attack sparked a terrifying shoot-out as teenagers returned fire with their own weapon.
So the law-abiding are the only ones who are prevented from owning guns. Even if they were allowed to ban the total lawful ownership of guns, Drug Dealers, just import them in with their drugs, leaving the law-abiding residents to cower in fear because the police can’t protect you and your family, and the police cannot get there in time.
Maybe that was just an odd and bad example. Maybe crime is actually way down in England.
Link Three Strikes and You're ... in Like Flint
OK that is just one country, how about Australia where drastic gun control prevails.London and British crime rates have been increasing for years. Recently total crime rates for London have been estimated at about seven times those of New York for a slightly smaller population and some authorities suggest these figures have been minimized. England and Wales are now accounted by some estimates as the most dangerous places for crime in the developed world.
In Norfolk, where the Tony Martin affair and other matters revealed a state of professional criminal gangs systematically robbing and terrorizing isolated rural dwellers, . . . .
In 2002 a study found that 11 million crimes had been left out of British government figures, including hundreds of thousands of serious crimes involving woundings, robberies, assaults and even murders as well as thefts. Dr. David Green of the Civitas research institute said: "When you check the small print, it turns out the Home Office itself thinks that there were far more than the 13 million crimes discovered by the [official] British Crime Survey, perhaps four times as many." Dr Green said the Office of National Statistics was subject to political interference and a genuinely independent statistical service was needed.
Link Boom times on underworld gun market
ILLEGAL guns can be bought "as easily as a pack of cigarettes" through a booming weapons black market in Queensland. Despite official denials, The Sunday Mail has been told that weapons are freely available through underworld dealers.
Prices start at $300 for a pistol and range to $4000 for the firepower of an Uzi sub-machinegun, capable of firing 10 heavy-calibre rounds a second.
Sorry! That's just my style. Sorry!
