Its the same old story everywhere in the world: "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."

England is finished.

"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns."

But you'll never hear about this from the American Big Lie Industry

[PatrioticAmerican]

"England is finished."

They have been a sad sack of a country for over 30 years. Socialism will do that to ya.

Auto: England is finished.

Crap and a half. We are still less likely to get our heads blown off walking round our green and pleasant land. And what business is it of yours anyway?

[jjbrouwer]

In April to November 2001 there were 30, compared to 16 in the same period last year.

Is that all?

They took the guns except for criminals and some government. Gives them freedom to kill at will...

drug mules - mostly women - travelling from Jamaica on commercial flights each year.

A little "profiling" going on here??

[SubMareener]

This is not possible! Guns are ILLEGAL in Britan!

The Great Australian Gun Law CON!

Hmmm.

At least two people a day are now robbed at gunpoint in London.

That's TWO gunpoint robberies per day in a city of 8 million.

I wonder how many gunpoint robberies there are in
Chicago + Houston + Phoenix + Jacksonville + Detroit combined (total population 7.7 million)

But perhaps we are comparing apples with elephants. Hmmm. Lets say the 2 per day means ONLY inner London (Population 2.5 million)

OK .. that's Portland, Oregon + Fort Worth, Texas, + Cleveland, Ohio + Tulsa, Oklahoma, + Minneapolis, Minnesota + Wichita, Kansas.

Anyone care to bet on whether there are more than 2 gunpoint robberies each day in ALL of those? Or even in ONE of those?

I am not decrying your right to bear arms. And in the US, the sheer number of firearms means you can never have effective gun-control, even if you wanted to.

But please don't think that those of us in nations that are NOT awash in firearms share your passion for an armed society.

How can this be?

Brits don't have those evil guns.

When seconds count, law enforcement officials can be there in a matter of minutes.

[SecondAmendment]

It's America's fault, since we still have them.
The U.N. will try and fix that this month ...

[x_plus_one]

England doesn’t worry about gun crime since Piers Morgan says it is nonexistent.

[N. Theknow]

OK! Enough is enough!

Obviously what is needed is more money spent on education so these criminals can learn to read the laws that ban guns.

I am sure they will be shocked to learn that they are breaking the law!

[Trailerpark Badass]

Seems like much of the gun crime is what it is here: thugs engaged in high-risk activities killing each other. Not sure I care so much.

[jurroppi1]

We were just told that this doesn’t happen anywhere but the US, this article has to be satire.

Doesn’t it? </sarc>

[I want the USA back]

Yeah, but the White Londoners don’t have guns and are thrown in jail for saying something about the foreigners flooding their shores.

[metmom]

In a gun free area?

How can this be?

I know!

The answer is to pass more gun control law for the criminals to ignore. That’ll surely stop the problem.

[metmom]

But England has gun control.

This can’t be.

I know what they need.

They need MORE gun laws (for the criminals to ignore).

Since all the laws they have now aren’t working, make more. That will do the trick.
