Much safer in the UK

[MightySanta]

16-year-old screamed as he was hacked to death with swords in central London - Telegraph

 

[printcraft]

Beats getting shot any day........

 

[Liberty1911]

Didn't happen. Swords are illegal in the UK.

 

[BogWalker]

Gee, if only somebody had a gun....

 

[DragonGunner]

Why don't they just outlaw murder....problem solved.

Didn't GB just pass a law that knives had to stay in the kitchen, no other place in the house or it was a felony....too many people getting stabbed....ya, that will solve it.

In England, they figure as long as the Royal family has protection and is safe, nobody else matters.

 

[digitalphoenix]

We should send this to **** Moron continuously.

Ah.... Merry Ol England.

Citizens are disarmed.

The King is not.

"The victim is believed to be a resident of the Churchill Gardens Estate which is plagued with gang crime and street violence."

Someone was killed in a gang infested area? Say it ain't so. I bet the rest of the country is just as dangerous.

 

[UncleMike]

They disarm the Public and are shocked when street gangs run amok.

Idiots!!!

Lol yeah, tell that to the victim's family. People living in gang infested areas have no right to life, ya' dringus. Is that correct?

Genghis Khan is only a self defensive tool ban away. I guess the Feudal age was such a blast that England has decided to give it another go. I know I can't wait to get hacked to pieces when our President tackles that gun violence problem, once and for all.

Did anyone say people in certain areas have no right to life? NO. Here, you can have your straw man back, dringus. You clearly need it more than I do.

Is it fair to assume that gang infested areas are more dangerous and have a higher probability of violence and death? YES

Is it then fair to assume that the entire country is dangerous based on one incident? NO

What straw man? I was asking you a question. I would venture to say that if the laws put in place by the government of any nation make it nearly impossible for honest people to effectively defend themselves then , yes, it is not only fair, but rational, to assume the entire country is a dangerous place. The entire world is a dangerous place. Some rational governments understand this and their people can prepare for certain dangers, such as owning insurance, fire extinguishers, or modern self defensive tools.

What are you defending here?

England at one time was the beacon of Western Civilization. Now, no more exceptional than France.

"You used to be able to walk around at night but I am starting to be very wary, especially at night-time."

But I thought their laws were supposed to take care of that? Oh, and aren't swords illegal there too?

The UK has about 1/4 of the murders per capita compared to the US. They have strict gun control.

Mexico has about 6 times the murders per capita compared to the US. They have strict gun control.

Obviously gun control is making things safer in the UK but making things more dangerous in Mexico. Or, more logically, gun control has little noticeable affect on violent crime, and other cultural and judicial measures are much more effective. You know, like not allowing drug and gang violence to run rampant. Probably the reason Qataris can own fully automatic weapons, yet their murder rate is about 1/20th of ours and seldom involves native Qataris. They behead drug dealers and don't have street gangs.

The UKs crime rate though is four times ours. I agree it isn't gun laws; it is the gangs. Guns don't kill people, but stupid doll bludger street gang members do.
