"While we already have some of the toughest gun laws in the world, there has been an unacceptable increase in the flagrant use of guns in crime across the country," said Home Secretary David Blunkett.

"We will not tolerate an escalation of the number of guns on our streets," he added.

Well...DUH, what did you think was gonna happen??!!

Crazy Brits.

What better proof that the Brits are morons? Problem with illegal guns? Pass laws making it really, REALLY illegal to own guns. Since criminals always obey the laws... problem solved!

[AmishDude]

Dumb . . . ass . . .

No other words successfully describe such stupidity.

The British sheep are on their way to the slaughterhouse, without complaint.

>"This culture of mindless violence, which has sprung partly from the increasing influence of Jamaican and American culture and the glorification of gang warfare, must be stopped," wrote Stevens, who heads London's Metropolitan Police.

Hey, they're blaming us!
Well, when they go Islamic,
they'll stop watching films...

"Flagrant Increase" PING!!!

[EBUCK]

They're complaining alright, about their inability to defend themselves....

"How come the criminals don't obey the laws?"

I think the Brits should be denied tea time if they're found with a gun in their possession. That would really REALLY crush them.

Well, there you have it. Flagrant proof positive that gun laws cause gun crime.
Does that mean the people who pass gun laws are flagrant criminals?
Can they be prosecuted flagrantly?

This from a Handgun Control Inc postcard... In 1990 handguns killed 22 people in Great Brittan....

That includes both murder and legit killings. Now the number, 73?

Guns are like nukes, when only one has it, it tends to get used.

[EBUCK]

Can they be prosecuted flagrantly?

No, because flagrant prosecution would lead to flagrant rump raping for the elite.

Yah, that's a whopping 332% increase!!

Gun control works...perhaps we should pressure Afganistan into a strict, UK style, of gun control. We could pull our troops out and in a few decades the problems would be solved.

No wonder they're sending those guns to jail (see headline of original post)! They up and killed 22 people all by themselves! I'd lock those guns up too! </ sarcasm>

[RetiredArmy]

Just goes to prove that when guns are outlawed, only OUTLAWS will have guns!!!

[copycat]

Then they better build A LOT more prisons.

[EBUCK]

Only outlaws and those that make the laws...

Meanwhile, there's no jail time for first time burglers.
What's wrong with THIS picture?

[EBUCK]

THEY'RE BRITISH!!! That's whats wrong with that picture.

Ah, yes. The joys of being a SUBJECT, rather than a CITIZEN.
