Once again we see the MO of the left: the end justifies the means. "Don't criticize what we say/do. Laud us for looking out for you."

I think you need to look into greater detail here.

The statistics for gun crime are widly distorted in the UK.

The biggest rise in gun crime is attributed to airguns, imitation guns and other weapons such as paintball of which there are few controls placed. The past two years have seen a fall in handgun crime.

The number of crimes in which a handgun was used in England and Wales has risen from 299 in 1995 to 1,024 last year. Offenses committed with all types of firearms, including air guns, have also increased. That's an increase of 725 gun crimes in 11 years, a 242 percent increase.

Talk about an inconvenient truth.....

We don’t need gun control. We need scum control. Ban the barbarians within who wage war against civilized people.

Degenerate culture is a far greater problem than weapons.

Guess those Brit Twits failed to consider reality:

Unless the gun fairy can wave a magic wand and make all firearms manufactured since 1364 disappear...

Stupidity knows no national boundaries.

Cut me some slack - I am not pro gun control.

But “The gun-murder rate in America is more than 30 times that of England and Wales”

This is really unbelievable. The WP article, at least in the headline, makes it sound as if Great Britain is doing just peachy, and peopl ehave beaten their guns into plowshares.

The reality is gun crimes have absolutely skyrocketed. I mean, the body of the article tells a completely different story than the headline.

Now “WC” in Europe will stand for Washington Compost, rather than Water Closet.
