gun control at it's best.

@diomedes Said
If criminals have guns we should have guns, if you take guns away from the common people what do you accomplish, will crime suddenly disappear and everyone will be happy and no one will ever get killed by a gun? Instead we'll kill each other with pipebombs (even I know how to make one). Get real.

Exactly, crime won't just vanish, in fact it might even get worse.

The thread is about gun control in the UK. Most people in the UK neither think nor care about gun control in the USA, but if someone wants to claim it doesn't work in the UK because of one news story they should expect plenty of replies disagreeing with them. There was a thread about gun control in the USA not too long ago.

When was the last time this happened in the UK?

I've pointed out before that gun crime figures even cover illegal possesion and other crimes that don't involve people using guns. Gun laws tightened up lately, especially after the death of 2-year-old Andrew Morton in Glasgow(did I get that bit right?). This easily explains the rise. It's not as significant as the media would have people believe. It's still very hard to get a gun here, legally or illegally. The easiest way to get one is to modify a replica, hence why people are being asked to give them to the police. I blame google and other search engines since that's where people learn to this.

Why blame google for something people choose to read?
