In a shock for US gunnuts that have pointed to UK crime
figures since the handgun ban in 1997, the latest UK crime
statistics show:

"Serious injuries from gun crime fell 5% and
the use of handguns was down 15%."

"Murder down by 18%"

"Burglary down 23%"

The downside being that violent offences of "pushing and
shoving" increased.

Have you ever looked to see what percentage of gun-related crimes are
committed by recent immigrants? Sometimes that's a really interesting
figure.


In the US, if one removes minorities between the ages of 13 and 24,
and illegal immigrants from the crime rates....firearms crime in the
US is about 1.5 points higher per 100,000 than in the UK. With few
firearms in the UK and 300 million of them in the US.

Truely some interesting ramifications.

Yeah, it's a very un-PC subject, but the FBI's UCR gun-crime figures for
Seattle some years back -- which were atrocious -- declined to rough
equivalence with those of Paris, France if you took out the Mexican
immigrants from the Seattle figure.

Is Gunner a bigot?
Does he want to remove the rights to shoot off shiney things
at anything that moves from Hispanics & Blacks? And put age
restrictions on everybody's rights on top of that?

Sure sounds like it.
