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.

Cool. But do you trust the Biased Broadcasting Corporation to tell you
the truth?


He shouldnt..but will if it backs his premise..which unfortunately is
in error...


As we know Gunner doesn't actually read past the first 3-4
lines of anything he posts. Right at the end of this report
is the bombshell:

Wait for it G.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) questioned the
findings. It said the authors had accepted that crime had dropped to
the levels of 1981 but failed to give the police credit. Chris Fox,
Acpo’s president, said the think tank’s conclusions did not “reflect
the reality” of the police force’s achievements in recent years.
"Considering the events of recent years,
the world has a long way to go to regain
its credibility and reputation with the US."


Whooee Gunner's cut and pasted report says that UK crime
levels have dropped to a 24 year low.

Well, what did you expect from someone with a bad case of
Winger's Disease?
