P.S. - Here's some success stories on Gun Control in the UK.
1. - There are still murders... I was told last week, someone was chopped to death with an Ax. I don't know about you...but if i had the choice I'd rather be shot... Murders still happen regardless, and the ones that do, are usually more brutal now.
2. - The goverment is executing a citizen for defending himself against a entruder in the UK somewhere... This is scary. I'm sure some of you would advocate against self defense rights in America since you seem to be all for supporting the bad guy. |
The statistics don't lie. We have a HUGE problem with gun related violence in this country. I don't understand the "throwing fire on fire" to be safer attitude people have in this country in regards to guns.
We have seen the gun related violence drop in countries where guns are not allowed or very hard to get. It would work here too. |
