It would seem to be a no-brainer to come up with the idea that legislation should focus on criminals who wield guns.

It must be the lead pipes, or maybe the French wine they import ~ yeah, that's the ticket, it's French wine!

a flicker of common sense in the UK????

[eagle11]

The voices of reason and common sense are being heard on Britain's gun control debate. Such a debate did occur just 3 WEEKS AGO at London's King's College. Wayne Lapiere of the NRA challenged the sanity and morality of gun control in the UK and in the EU. Defending the confiscation of firearms was none other than a former employee of George Soros - Rebecca Peters, who engineered Australia's gun confiscation policy which has rendered citizens of a democracy defenseless.

I believe the arguments for such extreme policies have run their course, I expect the debate to expand into Europe and Canada as well.

The evidence is clear, when governments trust their citizens to keep and bear arms, violent crime drops, especially benefiting the poorest of neighborhoods where guns are needed most.

The NRA has received UN invitation to enter into the debate over disarmament, advancing the cause for gun ownership worldwide with minimum govt interference.

This is terrific news, it should embolden Americans, especially conservatives and libretarians to engage the UN, for the NRA is there fighting for our Second Amendment rights, in the midst of those determined to snatch every privately owned gun on Earth and relegate them to govt armories and museums. So take the fight for gun ownership and self-defense to the globalists' doorstep, look them in the eye, and courageously speak out for Global Liberty and Sovereignty.....

Prof Gary Mauser said that Britain was making the same mistake as Canada and Australia in focusing on legal owners

I think it is a mistaken assumption that the intent of the gun bans and restrictions was to curb criminals. I believe the real intent was and is for the ruling class to remove the ability of the little people to resist them, and in that they have succeeded.

BANG!

Recorded gun crime rose by three per cent to 10,590 incidents in the year to June

spitting at someone is considered battery in the uk. i read on a different thread that spitting was up 5% (i think -- doing this from memory) in the uk. zell miller was right -- take away the guns and all you have left is spit balls!

"The sad truth is that while the police officers are inspecting farmers' gun cabinets to see if they comply with regulations somewhere in the UK, someone, who has not filled in a firearms certificate form.

Easy pickings and supportive paperwork will not stop gun crime. The constabulary needs to go to where crime takes place.
