[quote:Anonymous Coward 8668963:MV8yMDgyMzc3XzM1MDY0NTU0XzcyQzBENjhD] [quote:C3r371c:MV8yMDgyMzc3XzM1MDYzNTUyXzY3NDRCMDA=] Article is from 2009, and again, is a Daily Mail article. More recent UK figures show gun crime resulting in serious injury or death is now in decline. Seriously, guns are not a problem in this country. Someone pulls a gun over here usually gets the shit kicked out of them because it's a replica. REAL guns in the UK are not easy to come by. Most are reactivated or things like stolen .22's or shotguns. Shootings DO happen, not trying to deny that, but they are few and far between and usually met with shock... in the kind of 'where the fuck did he get a gun?!' type. I guess that the OP is trying to suggest that gun control doesn't work... but in the UK it really has, not that we really had a problem anyway... yes Hungerford and Dunblane, but they were freak events to the extreme. If you want to make an argument against gun control then you need to pick another example. [/quote] Let's try this argument. Not only will the guberment fail to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, they will supply criminal gangs (cartels) with weapons (F & F). There are at least 20mm illegals (terrorist?)that have invaded the U.S. already with few enforcement actions from dear leader's commie cabal. Most enforcement is against Patriots if they attempt to enforce illegal immigration laws. [/quote]

Gun crime has almost doubled since Labour came to power as a culture of extreme gang violence has taken hold.
The latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent.
In some parts of the country, the number of offences has increased more than five-fold.
In eighteen police areas, gun crime at least doubled.
