UK and US- gun crime etc etc etc

Re: UK and US- gun crime etc etc etc

^So compare the stats of USA vs Europe because if you bothered to look at the Wiki link, that is how they are divided up.
USA since 1966 (total shootings: 87)
Europe since 1913 (total shootings: 17)

We're only going around and around because you keep on bringing up stats and links that don't hold.

Let me see, 87 people shot in 40 years. That is what two a year? There are 360 million people in the USA. Does that sound like an epidemic to you? How many of these were kids on kids shootings? Dont forget we are talking about kids bullying other kids and you are suggesting that instead of bullying, kids shoot each other in the USA. How many of them were in some of the better schools and neighborhoods?

Quite separately, as far as your stats on Europe are concerned, how can there be 17 shootings since 1913? If we just figured the numbers of Jews, gypsies and Muslim kids killed between 1913-1955, it would probably far exceed that number, not to mention what happened to Muslim children in the former Chech republic.

Sheesh pal 87 shooting incidents, not 87 dead. I'm not even reading the rest of your post now.

Re: UK and US- gun crime etc etc etc

was listening to something about guns vs. bullying by someone who grew up in the bronx. his observation was that as a kid his generation got bullied on the streets. a lot. and that did scar them mentally, but they learnt how to size opponents up, know when to pick a fight, and when to not do it.

enter guns, and the kids on the streets were soon just shooting each other up over petty arguments. still scarred emotionally. in a worse manner. now you had to fear even the little guys.

boob chasm, there is still time. guns are not the way. the south lost the civil war a long time ago. no colored fella is coming for yer women anymore. get rid of your gun culture. :nono1:

So, you give me the example of a North Eastern city (where guns are banned) and tell me to get rid of my guns in the south? That is queer logic.

Gun control at work in Britain:

BRITAIN’S BRONX; DRUG GANGS, GUNS & BIKE RIDING BOYS WHO’LL KILL WITHOUT A MOMENT’S THOUGHT. SO HOW DOES ANY MOTHER BRING UP A LOVING, KIND LAW-ABIDING CHILD WHEN YOU LIVE IN.. Tony Blair talks about law & order in Manchester this week 2 miles away,

"GUN-TOTING teenagers are now so rampant in Manchester’s Moss Side that terrified parents call it the Bronx of Britain.

Locals live in fear of getting caught in the crossfire as rival drug gangs stage bloody gunfights in the streets.

And only **two weeks ago 15-year-old schoolboy Jessie James became the latest casualty **when he was shot dead as he cycled home from a youth club.

More than 50 people - many of them kids - have been killed and hundreds more injured in the lethal turf wars. …"
