Anthony Harwood of the Mirror, opines on America’s dreaded evil gun culture and asks ”WHAT CAN AMERICA EXPECT...”. Perhaps Mr. Harwood should take a look at what’s going on in his beloved England:

After 3 Home Secretaries, 46 Acts of Parliament, 178 consultations, 195 “initiatives” and 350 new police regulations:

§ Gun crime has doubled under Labour. In 2003-4, a gun crime was committed every hour in Britain.

§ Violent crime is up 83 per cent. For the first time ever, more than a million violent crimes were committed last year. That is more than the combined populations of Manchester and Liverpool.

§ Robbery has gone up by 51 per cent.

§ 825,000 more crimes were committed in 2003-4 than in 1998-9 – even though Home Office spending has risen by £5 billion

...gun crime is up by 34 per cent, ”...cities such as Boston in America have become safer and that has helped push London down”, ”...GANGS are operating on bus routes through Leytonstone and have carried out a spate of muggings.”

You know, England is such a violent country, I’m not sure I really want to vacation there.

The truth is, gun violence in England and the good old USA is mostly the result of gangs and drugs. Even the English police are fretting what to do about black-on-black violence. Legislating guns out of existence will not get rid of the gangs, or stop crime. England has proven that.
