Hey ClakarEQ...What's the capital of La La Land?...I would really like to have some of those drugs you are on...Drugs are for people who can't handle reality...And this must be where you are coming from...
In the first place banning hand guns are not going to decrease crime...So don't even go there...Secondly do you really think the criminals are going to just hand their hand guns over to a goverment ban?...As a matter of fact I'm sure there are a bunch of people including myself who would instantly become outlaws...You will have to pry my handgun(s) out of my dead cold fingers...
Now let's play a game...You are in your house watching TV in the evening with your family...All of the sudden someone masked come breaking into your house with a gun...your wife and teenage daughter screams...Your teenage son tries to get up and run out of the room...The perp fires his gun and kills him and turns his gun on you...This has all happened within 10 seconds...then orders you daughter to tie you up to the chair binding your hands and legs to the chair...After that he orders her to tie your wifes hands behind her back and orders her to sit on the floor face down...All the time waving his gun at all of you...He then proceeds to have his way with your daughter right in front of you while holding his gun to her head...What would you do?...This has taken place after your handgun band went into effect...Did a lot of good didn't it?...
What a smuck... It is better to arm yourself with a handgun and have it loaded and ready at a moments notice...You never know when this could happen to you...I have everone of my handguns loaded and placed throughout my house...My wife and two daughters, now grown and on their own now, were brought up with the guns and everyone of them were trained on how and more importantly when to use them...They all learned gun safety, proper use, quick fire, when and in what situations to use them and most importantly that guns kill and if you were ever put into a situation where you had to point it at someone you had better be ready and willing to use it...Not to wound but to kill...I now have seven grandchilden...Both daughters own guns themselves and the grandkids are also being taught the proper use of them...There are no trigger locks...never have been and never will be...They are always clean and ready to use as any other tool should be...They are tools used to protect oneself from others whom intent is to harm...If I was in the same La La Land you were in I sure wouldn't limit myself to be foolish enough to think they are only after my money and I wouldn't even know they were there if they broke in at night...That is the stupidist assumption you will ever make...And we all know what happens when you assume...
Now dipshit read this blurb and tell me you still think the same...
The illusion that the English government had protected its citizens by disarming them seemed credible because few realized the country had an astonishingly low level of armed crime even before guns were restricted. A government study for the years 1890-92, for example, found only three handgun homicides, an average of one a year, in a population of 30 million. In 1904 there were only four armed robberies in London, then the largest city in the world. A hundred years and many gun laws later, the BBC reported that England's firearms restrictions "seem to have had little impact in the criminal underworld." Guns are virtually outlawed, and, as the old slogan predicted, only outlaws have guns. Worse, they are increasingly ready to use them.
Nearly five centuries of growing civility ended in 1954. Violent crime has been climbing ever since. Last December, London's Evening Standard reported that armed crime, with banned handguns the weapon of choice, was "rocketing." In the two years following the 1997 handgun ban, the use of handguns in crime rose by 40 percent, and the upward trend has continued. From April to November 2001, the number of people robbed at gunpoint in London rose 53 percent.
Gun crime is just part of an increasingly lawless environment. From 1991 to 1995, crimes against the person in England's inner cities increased 91 percent. And in the four years from 1997 to 2001, the rate of violent crime more than doubled. Your chances of being mugged in London are now six times greater than in New York. England's rates of assault, robbery, and burglary are far higher than America's, and 53 percent of English burglaries occur while occupants are at home, compared with 13 percent in the U.S., where burglars admit to fearing armed homeowners more than the police. In a United Nations study of crime in 18 developed nations published in July, England and Wales led the Western world's crime league, with nearly 55 crimes per 100 people.
This sea change in English crime followed a sea change in government policies. Gun regulations have been part of a more general disarmament based on the proposition that people don't need to protect themselves because society will protect them. It also will protect their neighbors: Police advise those who witness a crime to "walk on by" and let the professionals handle it.
, tacks I know your still hungry, come-on don't prove me wrong now.
