A drive by shooting in Manchester, 2 shootings within hours of each other in London. No one was injured in the drive by, a 17 year old woman was shot and killed and a couple km away a 17 year old boy was shot and stabbed and is in critical condition. I guess gun control does not work, criminals do not obey laws.
Drive by shootings aren't so one sided in America. http://abc13.com/news/homeowner-shoots-at-drive-by-suspects-killing-2/1960774/
Do you really believe the expectation of any gun control laws is to entirely eliminate any and all gun crime? Or did you know that isn't the case all the time and was just lying for political purposes?
You might want to change your moniker, honest lol. I don't believe that, but many on the gun control leftist do. Every liberal gun banner points to England and Australia as models of what the US should. The problem is that they have gun problems just like the US. The problem is not guns, it's criminals that use them and lax law enforcement that lets these criminals back out on the street with a slap on the wrist.
First of all, it is more like 40 per day that are classified as murder. The rest of those fatalities are suicides and police interventions. The US also has 5 times the population of the UK, with the UK having almost total gun control. The US is #1 in rank of private gun ownership, a recent article suggests that 88.8 out of 100 households possess firearms. With less than 5% of the world's population, the US accounts for 35 - 50 percent of the world's private gun ownership. Yet the US ranks 28th in the per capitalists murder rate. Honduras, El Salvador, and Jamaica are the top three.
We have close to 100 shot and killed every day, and at least 200 wounded every day.We live in a perpetual war zone.
Of the 22 so called high income countries in the world we account for 82% of all gun related deaths even though collectively the other 21 nations have twice our population.We account for 90% of all women shot in those 22 nations,91% of all those shot under age 14 and 92% of those aged between 15 and 24 who are shot to death.We live in a perpetual WAR ZONE!!!
I think you'll find they are widely spread across all of our states.We have no shortage of legally armed citizens who really shouldn't be trusted with a butter knife.
the more you ban, the more violent England gets our number of guns go up by the millions, and millions more people are carrying guns and yet our violent crime rate diminishes.
OH the Drama. If you don't live with drug traffickers, do drugs or associate with drug dealers, your chances of being shot are rather low. a few, less than ten- counties in the USA-all run by anti gun Democrats, are the site of most of the violent gun crimes in the USA
FBI crime statistics, WHO ranks us 28th per capitalists murder at 2.7/100k. The Gaurdian article which got me too look at the other sites.
No, no, no....the part I bolded. Where did you get that from. First of all, it is more like 40 per day that are classified as murder. The rest of those fatalities are suicides and police interventions.
The US has about 15000 homicides by firearms, the rest are suicide and police intervention. FBI crime statistics. We also have about 40k deaths by auto accidents, should we ban automobiles? 115k die from physician mistakes a year, should we ban all health care? Do you see how ridiculous the anti-gun crowd is. Laws don't affect the criminals, they don't obey laws. And yet gun banners don't want me to be able to protect myself and family. There is also a movement to ban certain, protective dog breeds, such as Staffordshire terriers, rottweilers, Dobermans, and German Shepherds. Yet the same people, believe that all police are corrupt, inept racist. And I'm supposed to rely on them to protect me and mine.
