Uprising in gun culture in the uk?

Question

do you think that rap artists are partially to blame for the uprising in gun culture in the uk?

Answer 1

A person could blame just about anything under the sun for this. As Claire stated "You can blame the people that make the guns" is the easy way to go, it is a simple resolution.
Ultimately, the only person to blame is the person themselves. Responsible ownership is the key.
Society has taught us that it easier to blame rather than accept responsibility and that is very sad.
Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Weapons do not pull the trigger by themselves, it takes a cognitive act to do so.

Answer 2

Not understanding rap I am unable to support the view that rap artistes are responsible for the rise in gun culture in UK. Lets look at this sensibly. William Shakespear wrote a lot of plays in which there is murder, death and war - are we to blame him for these events? People must learn to distinguish a story being told of events happening to one where the listener is encouraged to become more violent in order to gain respect from his peers. As for the so called gun culture - when I was a child in the 1940s living in the Kent countryside there were an estimated 500 guns in my village with its 2500 population. Most of these were shotguns plus a fairly large arsenal of captured German weapons from WW2, Lugars and the likes. In reality the British people have always been well tooled up, as the expression goes. Until recently, when you could carry just about anything in your hand luggage on an aeroplane, most people carried knives of various kinds. This only really came to light when the big bag search started. The arsenal of "weapons", carving knives, bayonets etc that we Brits were carrying abroad, just in case, was quite staggering. I guess now we have to buy a knife when we get there.

There is one other point I would like to add, which will probably upset and annoy some people. The people of Britain are mostly descended from warlike agressive Germanic tribes of one sort or another. Also, the British people, black white or otherwise, tend on the whole to remain quietly potentially aggresive. Having weapons is no big deal. Not using them is important too.

Answer 3

Rap artists may have had a small effect but the real culprits are the government. Soft sentences for people carrying guns and using them is far worse than any music,don't blame the judiciary it's this government that brought in the Human Rights Act and all the attached nonsense.

Answer 4

Yes, amongst other things, all cultures are not equal and some cultures appeal to the hard of understanding. England used not to have a gun culture but influx of inferior US and Jamaican culture has acted to introduce gun culture here.

Answer 5

because of this namby pamby government who're greater prepared on aims than focused on the actual criminals. Why do maximum persons carry knives with them? extremely to no longer sparkling out their toenails! caught in possession of a knife. without good reason ought to have an computerized 2 year penitentiary sentence. caught two times and it would double to 4 years. a 0.33 time and it extremely is life! it extremely is the sole way we can rid this u . s . of its way of life of severe violence. And particular! we can extremely blame each and all of the mum and dad who turn a blind eye to their youthful infants carrying knives or weapons, and run around the streets inflicting unhappiness for regulation abiding human beings. we would desire to consistently convey back capital punishment so as that we can string up the B------s who come into our u . s . and reason acts of terrorism against our sovereign state. What has helped gasoline the upward push in knife and the gun way of life? merely. no person bloody cares what is going on exterior their 4 partitions!

Answer 6

No, not at all. It is the English gun laws that really caused the Gun up-rising. And a few murders here and there are the real reasons.

Answer 7

Maybe but I don't think that they are the only thing to blame. Society as a whole is changing and you don't seem to be in with the in crowd if you aren't aggressive enough or have enough friends to hang around with outside the shops or around the bus stops (in our town anyway), drinking cider and terrorising people who are going about their business.

Answer 8

Debatable, you could blame the media for showing it in the first place or parents for letting their kids see it, or you could even blame the people for making the guns.....

Answer 9

having a gun is a bit like owning a couple of pit bulls or a fleet of super cars, it makes some people feel equal or adequate

Answer 10

No, its the scum who sells them and the uneducated loosers who buy them. I onced heard of a guy who shot another guy for "disrespecting him?? Whats that about?

Only an arsehole would glorify gun culture anyway.
