"Our (Gun) Violence Is Down"

In Great Britain, they’re gloating because their “gun violence is down,” even though its level is three times higher than it should be, or ever was. What they don’t mention is that KNIFE violence is up, to an alarming level, so now they’re banning knives. In 1999, the number of violent acts per 100,000 people was at under 500. Then it rose to a level of over 1900 per 100,000 people in 2005. Now it’s down from that level to just under 1500. Which is “down,” but still way too high. Now they have stiff “knife laws” after knife violence rose tremendously in the absence of legal guns for the law-abiding. “So today, Great Britain has trapped itself in a vicious cycle of rising crime and intensifying repression.” – David B. Kopel and Vincent Harinam in Britain’s Failed Weapons-Control Laws Show Why the Second Amendment Matters. Of course, the anti-gun fools among England’s lawmakers will never realize this, or admit it. Like our ignorant politicians, they will go right on making their silly laws that don’t work any better than ours do, while many people suffer from them, being “easy targets” for those who IGNORE their silly laws.
