I also find the whole thing on Black immigrants causing all the crime to a be a bit racist. But then, I look at the demographics for US crimes, realize that it's pretty much a fifth generation problem here, and really can't disagree with you on it
......... When are people going to realize that bad things happen and they can't BAN everything dangerous or potentially dangerous to meet their own futile attempt to make heaven on earth. I understand the grief accompanied by the loss of a loved one, but that certainly does not justify stripping your countrymen of their rights...I know we're talking about England here, but England is one of the many testbeds that U.S. politicians use to validate their inane laws."If you are a person who carries a knife, think about the consequences and, for my son's sake, don't do it."
Tommygunn said:In the United States, a number of studies have indicated that areas with less gun control and more individual ownership of guns, the murder rate is lower than where guns are strictly controled or even banned. Washington D.C. is an example of one city where guns are nearly 100% banned, yet that city has an inordinantly high murder rate. While some people debate these statistics, I believe enough has been shown to conclude there is some association between gun control and crime rates, and it does not argue well for those who believe in gun control as a cure for crime.
Stating the truth isnt racist. Well maybe it is here, but I hoped it wasnt in America
Although of course these stories are fiction, the idea of a gentleman pocketing a revolver in the 1880s to defend himself was not fiction.
pistols were quite a rarity and used for target shooting mainly.
problems with immigrants?wow seems like here doesent it?
CUERVO - "England's ban spread to Australia and is threatening Canada, and there are plenty of US politicians looking at it for here. Throw in some "free" health care and social security system that will pay you not to work, and the majority will be kept happy, which is all that is necessary."
However, since England has outlawed defensive guns, the increasing knife use by criminals will surely lead to a knife ban of some sort, which will then lead to a ban of kitchen knives, screwdrivers, baseball bats and hammers.
