5.56 - good video of England's situation. Tony Martin was in a state of seige, broken into at night, in darkness. He had suffered for a long time, in a secluded position, without protection.
English by the grace of God. |

I sympathise with the argument, but it is done no justice when a typical uninformed protester states that firearm related crime was up 40%. I think he needs to read the facts, since 2003 it has actually dropped by 23%. If people want the pollies to take notice, the first thing they have to do is get their facts right. These persons are as big a threat as the anti gun lobby. You must have credibility before you can expect to win a point. |

Here is an up to date report, based on official figures. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukne...every-day.html |

Looks like the system is working to me, most numbers are down and any increases are small with the exception of drug offences. The best indication that the police are doing a better job is the public perceptions figures. Quote:

The right wing press must have their story! I think there is some truth to a large increase in violent (possibly gun crime) associated with young people, particularily in London, although I cannot find a link to verify that. Actually here is one http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6349925.stm I'm all in favour of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters.

About the only thing I can conclude is that the British are becoming worse shots and only injuring the people they shoot at? | |

I don't deny that crime is probably increasing in some small groups as pointed out by Perseus, but hardly worthy of the banner headlines in the press. But from the latest Home Office figures, it seems that the police are having reasonable success in this field. | |

Hehe I just found it amusing that the report said one thing and the data said something completely different its like they just added a link to give the story credibility without actually checking the link. I agree though there will always be spikes in data especially when you have long periods of time where the data is moving in one direction. |

I didn't even try to work that one out, the whole story appears to be a beatup by someone with a second agenda somewhere. Obviously another panic merchant with poor math skills. |
