Activists call for global gun controls

Translation: Britain's crime is rising at an alarming rate; the rest of the world should have to suffer the same fate.

"Where guns are available, more women are likely to be killed," Searle said.

Yeah - and with guns women everyone will have no hope of defend themselves

South Africa, famous for high crime rates, sees a woman shot dead by a current or former partner every 18 hours, according to statistics from the state-funded Medical Research Council.

And gun control there has worked so well...

U.S. studies have shown that having a gun in the house increases the risk that someone in the house will be murdered by 41 percent, but boosts the risk for women by 272 percent.

Lies and untruths - most of these "studies' count suicide as a death and do not count non-fatal use of gun (to defend the homeowner) AT ALL.

Some countries such as Canada and Australia have managed to bring down the murder rate of women by toughening laws on gun licensing. But the problem is growing in the developing world, where such safeguards are harder to implement.

The stats don't back this up - crime has increased in both counties since gun control was implemented.

"A gun in the hands of a free man frightens and angers the autocrat (OR THE UN), not because he fears the power of the gun, but, rather, the spirit of the man who holds it."

Islamic Sharia Gun control activists say the world was awash with small arms, fuelling violence, and have called for global cooperation and stricter limits on NoN-Muslims?

It must be a miracle that all the women around me manage to survive each day.

"Given that they are almost never the buyers, owners or users of small arms, (women) suffer disproportionately from armed violence," said Denise Searle of Amnesty International.


I would love to see where these numbers come from. Seems to me that men nt women are the victim of gun crime. Usually , unregistered guns. Especially for rappers.

You might want to ping your bang list to this one! They just don't give up do they?

You're ABSOLUTELY correct on that, Banana.

If someone who owned a gun was murdered in their house by a baseball bat, they counted it.

[rollo tomasi]

Are they proposing to ban the materials that are used to create a gun in the first place? Do these idiots think people are going to forget how to make a gun?

These people are a bunch of hyper sensitive emotional wrecks devoid of any smidgen of logic.

from my dead cold fingers Kofi!!

Didn't the UN recently turn a blind eye to Russia's sale of 100,000 Kalishnikovs to Venezeula? Or what about Austria's sale of 800 .50 caliber rifles to Iran? What about Heckler & Koch and Fabrique Nationale selling their guns to every 2-bit tyrannical government in the world?

Of course the problem isn't the government. It's Joe Citizen who goes to the local gun shop and buys a shotgun, handgun, or even *GASP* an assault rifle. /sarcasm

Come and take it.
