Firearms in figures

18 per cent: the year-on-year rise in firearms-related homicides in
2006-07. Home Office figures reveal that there were 58 firearms-
related homicides in 2006-07 compared with 49 in the previous year.

410 People seriously injured after being shot in 2006-07, more than
one a day.

1,444 Young people prosecuted for firearms offences in 2005, a rise of
20 per cent over four years.

8 Young people who have lost their lives in shootings, six in London,
one in Manchester and one - 11-year-old Rhys Jones - in Liverpool.

3,000 Firearms incidents recorded in Greater Manchester during 15
months (seven gun-related incidents every day).
But surely if everyone had a gun, no one would get shot?

Sure just like in Iraq. Everyone has a gun so no one gets hurt.
Right.

Bagdad is actually safer than DC

Given the nature of the shootings and the relative speed they
happened, I seriously dobt that. It *might* have made a
difference if everyone were *required* to carry a gun.

It's pure fantasy to believe an armed populace could have stopped the
deaths.

The same people also fantasize how they could have stopped 9/11 had
they had guns.

1 armed "security guard" (rent a cop) with a gun stopped a nutcase
shooting up a church yesterday.

have you noticed these nutcase killers like to choose "gun free zones"
so they're safer?

You virus check your posts?
Don't you?
Using a newsreader? Why?
because I can.

It's not the news/mail tool that does the checking.

Take my word for it that you can't spread or get virus on usenet. Not
unless you download random attachments and run them, or something
silly like that.

I think we had a similar discussion about mp3s too, didn't we?

Hi,

while technically not virii if you've got java enabled for your
newsreader you can get into nasty loops that'll have you killing the
newsreader process

I've seen some Javascript code that does that. Not exactly the end of
the world!

the violent crime rate in the UK is actually HIGHER than in the US.
Thats the best argument I have seen for "you can prove anything with
statistics"

Hi,
is that why there are more machineguns per person in Finland
than in
the
US or even Switzerland?
What's the rate of use( leading to murder of innocent victims)
per
machine-gun owner in those three countries?
Oh Oh you can see where this is going 30000 deaths a year by
gunshot
in
USA.

As opposed to about 50,000 by car accidents. Ban cars!!!!!
As opposed to 450,637 by heart disease. Ban vital organs!!!

As a person who has had guns pointed at him by complete strangers
while
travelling in the USA
I have a lifelong "respect" for the fact there are 250 million
legally
owned
hand guns in the USA.
In both cases I am very lucky to be alive thanks to
1 the dearranged mans weapon being unloaded---he went off to find his
bullets!.
2 the armed security guard who was very twitchy with his pump action
shot
gun.
Stood next to the sign that said something about lethal force.
He was guarding my camp site!.
Tam
....ban shopping mauls.....
I know I should not say this--------NRA--------why not make the 250
million
hand guns
in the US illegal--their only purpose is to kill people.
Yes I know the 8 people shot dead yesterday were not shot by a handgun.
Tam
Hi,

they were shot by a thief (the gun was stolen) and a crazy person.

that'll make their families happier....

but wait... it didn't really happen.

gun control protected the victims!

in that particular mall the management of the mall had decided that they
would NOT allow legally licensed permit holders to keep and bear arms
inside the mall and had signs posted to that affect (a legal requirement).

so what we have is gun control contributing to another mass
murder/suicide.

if the citizenry, that had all already been checked out by the police been
allowed to keep and bear arms there it could have ended a LOT quicker and
with fewer -innocent- casualties.
This is so surreal!!.

Rent-a-Cops with guns can be a real problem. They have no more
rights to use the gun than you or I. Real off-duty cops who have
been rented to serve as security are a different matter, but the
first time some rent-a-cop pulls a gun on me he's going to be
charged with assault by me.
