Ever seen the UK's violent crime reports?

On another note, speaking of crime, I think we should actually blame capitalism for crime. The whole notion of "something for nothing". Or if that's unfair, shall we say, maximizing profits while minimizing expenses. The concept of profiting directly from the loss of another. Its animalistic. Obviously as a society we have to share. Farmers produce and share grain, Doctors share healthcare, entertainers share music, etc. I don't know if humanity is really ready for socialism, but it's a beautiful concept.


not so! You dont expect crime to decrease immediately but you're forgetting that not having a gun ban stops crime from increasing.

Crime increases when you take guns away because the only people left with guns are the police and criminals that dont care about the law.

Im not letting some donut-eating pork fried cop protect my life. I mean i like as much help as i can get, but the ultimate responsibility in doing the best i can to wake up tomorrow is going to be on me.

Gun bans are a sham...its just another way for the government to get more power.

You give up your guns...the criminals take over...the police are given more guns and power to keep us "safe" from "criminals".


whatever.
