LONDON GUN GANGS

[Docfeelgood]

I'm in total shock! Here at Poly this is never heard of out of Britain. I was under the impression only Americans killed each other with guns.

I am curious to the excuse; lack of education or unemployment?

Feel free to post relative statistics of gun deaths.

Without having to see the whole vid again I think he said 45 in one year? or maybe smaller? yes it was a small amount.
BUT they do happen.

The meaningful stat is whether the rate is increasing or decreasing. Speaking for Dallas, Texas, since the advent of concealed carry licenses it's dropped.
Grandpa or Grandma may blow your head off if you try and jack them.

Could that be due to the fact that, having legalised concealed carry, fewer people are facing criminal charges for concealed carry?

People should run around with RPGs.

Of course, every major city has this kind of problem...not just in the US...London is certainly no exception. But also have a sense of perspective about the scale of these problems in London compared to the US too. The kind of shooting described would make national news - it isn't a regular occurrence, and the nights of London aren't ringing with gunshots. Compare London and Washington for murder rates per capita...it's quite an interesting comparison.

In the other news: I bet you drug crime will go down significantly if weed was legalized.

Sherlock Holmes & Watson always had pistols and so did the bad guys in Danger Mouse so obviously the UK has no gun laws.

You get Dangermouse in Yankeestan? I'm impressed!

Let's face it, London is a bit of a ****hole. Here in Cardiff both gun crime and knife crime are virtually unknown. Some kid got stabbed to death last year, I think.

What do you call a sheep tied to a lamp-post in Cardiff?

A leisure centre.

[MOBIUS]

Is that the best ya got...?

Maybe it's the strategic use of sheep tied to lamp-posts in Cardiff that keeps gun and knife crime down?
