You know, I've lived overseas for several years now and I've really never felt safer. Guns are illegal except maybe for hunting in Britain and other places. Nobody really worries about getting killed even when they're walking down an alley in the middle of the night. It's kind of reassuring, really.
Whenever I go back to the States I start seeing shootings on the news all the time and have to be a little more careful about what I'm up to.

Ok so you are a fascist! Well this is america and it is the right and duty of all americans to bare arms!
oh yea then there is this
Gun Ownership Manditory: Crime Plummits in Kennesaw Georgia
News – It is hard to believe that the gun ownership in this city became manditory to control crime. Population of the city tripled between 1980-1996 without one gun homicide during the measured time. This city has become an example to other American cities as a way to control crime.
And what you are talking about is guilty until proven innocent and that is a tool of a totalitarian police state like Nazi Germany, communist Russia, or China! This should be fought at all cost!!!

"The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it. --

gun laws should be tightened no doubt about that. the problem is, the prisons are so over crowded they have to let some of them out. not that i think prison helps, in my experience they come out a lot worse than when they went in.
as for stop and search... no, no and no again. this causes culture wars and makes the class differences in a particular society even more evident.
for example:
you look like a pothead... you must be carrying weed
you are muslim... you must be carrying a bomb
you are black... you must be carrying a gun
these assumptions will make everyone who isn't a white middle class male (in my experience) hate the police. and chaos continues.
also to ferrisob1 half a brain would tell you the prisons couldn't possibly contain all the people that bought a sword for display purposes or simply a kitchen knife set from argos and were stopped on their way home - idiot

I agree, although we are down ten deaths a year by firearms.
Huge ain't it.
The decision by our all singing all dancing puppet master T. Blair to lower the sentencing age from 21 for 5 years to 18 is a joke, its the teenagers that are causing the most deaths.
There's many ways round stop an search for transporting anything in the U.K. an no I'm not going into details but its largely ineffective to anyone with half a brain.
If you carry a weapon designed to take a life the sentance should be life.

The illness is an increasing crime rate directly proportionate to levels of immigration.
Any good doctor would hope to treat the source of an illness ,not just the symptoms.
Enough said.

Clearly, I know right off the bat that I WONT BE ATTAINING those 10 pts. from you. O well. But I will try to make this as comprehensible as possible for you.
GUNS DO NOT KILL.....
THE IDGITS WHO HAVE NO MENTAL CAPACITY REGARDING HOW AND WHEN TO USE THE GUN IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBLE ONE wHO DOES THE KILLING.
GUN RESTRICTIONS ARE NOT THE ANSWER. For those statistics that include (PRIMARILY): THUGS who think they have power by taking a life at gunpoint, are the most damaging to pro-gun rights. It makes me sick, it pisses me off. NOW, since I do not have the time to do the research..JUST TO answer your question, I will have to put forth my efforts by memory.
ONCE UPON A TIME....it was FACT, that those states in the USA which allowed the right to bear arms; such as Texas....had SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER death rates by homicide than those states which restricted gun rights. To be totally fair, I will not presume to say that this is still the case, as it would take me a minute to do some stat. research.
All human beings should have the RIGHT to protect themselves. And sorry to say buddy, a baseball bat or pepper spray will not stay the hand of a deranged psychopath who is out to kill you. The once honest (for the most part) United States of America; has turned into a bunch of limp wristed, weak willed but POWER HUNGRY idgits who piss and moan that "Guns KILL PEOPLE!"......NO, THEY do NOT. Thugs, psycho's, and dirty cops kill ppl. the list could go on, but the point is this......
IMAGINE IF YOU WILL, IN ALL OPEN-MINDED HONESTY....how you might feel as a single mother of four children. Imagine the horror and the utter despair you might feel if at 4am you hear rumblings and noices of all sorts that are out of the ordinary for your household. IMAGINE PLEASE....some crazy bastard who had tracked you, cased you--and carefully plotted raping you and your daughters and or sons; and then murdering you all? Do you IN THAT MOMENT THINK TO YOURSELF "Gee! Im sure glad I DO NOT HAVE A GUN RIGHT NOW?"
NOW DAMN IT....TELL THE TRUTH....you DO what you have to do to protect your children. For all we both know....somewhere in the U.S. RIGHT NOW....some poor unfortunate family may very well be experiencing this as I type this; GOD BE WITH THEM!
Ultimately, the revocking of the "RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS" from civilians bc' of idiot gangs and others who ABUSE the intended RIGHT; will ultimately USHER IN A LARGER REALIZATION KNOWN AS THE "POLICE STATE: and our democracy is ever declining back into communism."
WE HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS, AND ITS HIGH TIME ALL OF THE REAL MEN AND WOMEN WHO KNOW THE SERIOUSNESS THAT IS THE DANGEROUS WORLD IN WHICH WE NOW LIVE.....SHOULD ALL STAND UP AND SHOUT IT LOUD.....WE WILL PROTECT OUR FAMILIES, AND WILL NOT BACK DOWN!!!
AND FOR THE RECORD,
POLITICIANS CARE JUST ABOUT AS MUCH FOR YOUR WELL BEING AS A PIMP DOES FOR HIS PROSTITUTES.....YOU NEED TO RE-INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THE REAL WORLD MY FRIEND.....BC' WE NEED OUR WEAPONRY MORE NOW THAN ANY OTHER TIME IN USA HISTORY!
