Hilarious item on UK gun crime

1 Name: Anonymous : 2015-11-26 23:48
One use of an automatic rifle, in 2009, and guns in such short supply that criminals are using weapons dating back to the World Wars. This, in a country where grannies were packing schmeissers as recently as the sixties (no kidding, watch the film):

Oh, yes, being reminded that, unlike our forefathers, we lack such basic rights with the respect to firearm access is so funny!

Why do you think that is a basic right in the UK? Do you aspire for England to one day achieve US homicide rates?

As if allowing law abiding citizens to own guns increases the homicide rate.

In Mexico nearly all guns are banned. Yet they have 5x more homicides per 100,000 people. Perhaps they should think about legalizing more of them instead.

"A common misconception is that firearms are illegal in Mexico and that no person may possess them. This belief originates due the general perception that only members of law enforcement, the armed forces, or those in armed security protection are authorized to have them. While it is true that Mexico possesses strict gun laws, where most types and calibers are reserved to military and law enforcement, the acquisition and ownership of certain firearms and ammunition remains a constitutional right to all Mexican citizens and foreign legal residents; given the requirements and conditions to exercise such right are fulfilled in accordance to the law"

Yeah they may want to think about loosening up those laws a bit.
