    You
    No waving; you could query the numbers yourselve, as can anyone with Google access. Referencing commonly available facts aren’t poor debate technique when they are commonly available. The numbers and trends are not in dispute, but feel free to challenge them if you don’t believe them from the many posts referencing them. Query US violent crime decreasing, guns increasing and show how many sources argue that the numbers are incorrect.
    https://www.forbes.com/sites/larryb...n-sales-soar-gun-crimes-plummet/#63601aaf3f7c. It show any query showing this is incorrect and we can discuss that. Short that, the trends remain unexplained by those the sell the more guns = more crime narrative.

    Interestingly in 2016 no unarmed civilians were shot dead by the police in the UK and no officers were killed either. :)

    Something wrong with you,
    where does he even state a Political leaning ?
    Or were you merely assuming ?



    AmmoSexuals ?

    Is that a slur against Gay and or Homosexual Gun owners ?

    I don't really care what a rape whistle wielding subject of the crown thinks.

    Since both of those are facts maybe you should learn about your own country more.

    People have been killing each other far longer than the US has been around. Guns are nothing more than tools, inanimate objects, not quite the same as owning people. I fail to see the relevance of your comparison. Wherever you are from doesn't have our history or our rights and I certainly don't need a foreigner telling me what's best for America...

    Sorry my friend a gun is now and always has been a weapon. Even most infants in the rest of the world would not need that explaining to them
    Do you think the guy who invented the first gun stood back and thought to himself 'what a wonderful tool I've created' ?:roflol:

    Whatever it takes to understand that:

    1. You still have a queen in 2018
    2. Your only legal means of self defense is a rape whistle

    You can pretend that neither of those are true if you'd like.

    Of course its a tool, as are other weapons. Its called advancement. If you and your country want to revert to stone age standards of defense, feel free. I will continue to support the use of the most efficient means to protect myself from threats...

    Yes a gun is a weapon and a tool for self defense or providing yourself with food.

    They're those things that only the important people in the UK are allowed to have, and they have lots of them.

    The only people in the UK who don't have guns are the serfs.

    Is that not 96 % of the U.K. general populace ?
    The rest have their guns locked up and inaccessible when most needed.

    I have no rape whistle nor does anyone I know so I guess we're all doomed

    Your violence against women is many orders of magnitude greater than here because of your guns not despite them
