Its interesting to me that some people are so hung up on spelling, grammar, and dialectic jargon that a stunning example of crystal clear thinking like this sails right over their heads while the rest of us just put the mouse down and slide the keyboard back knowing there is nothing else to add.

Are you inferring that you've used your gun to protect yourself or your stuff?

Now if every law abiding citizen in that neighborhood or section of the city were to get a CCW license and made it known to all in the papers and airwaves, I bet you that crimes like that would nearly cease. If they did not stop right away, they would stop right away after a few more gang-banger want-a-be's got a cap in the forehead.

yes Spex , I have had to use a weapon to defend my self ( against a Neibors dog ) , myself and my wife have fire arms , we know how to use them affectivly , and will use them if nessary. One of the reasons we moved here is that this area is sooo much nicer than where than where we both came from ( Memphis TN ) .
You nay have heard of White flight , we flew , not just from the city , or the area , we left the whole damn state !!!

Uk had 54 gun related deaths last year. gun control does work, its just that America is paranois as fuck, just because you have an old piece of paper that says you have the right to bear arms doesnt mean you should.

The UK is not the US. Different cultures, different ideas. People in the US don't trust police to do everything for them, including protect them. UK culture emphasizes government protection for almost everything, including a ban pointy objects.

Suggesting the laws of one country would have the same effects (both positive and negative) on the other isn't really valid.

In the UK they have "subjects", in America we have citizens.

I wasnt suggesting one law for both countries, and i agree there are different cultures, but its blatantly obvious that something has to be done to curb gun related deaths in the US. how its done is of course up to your citizens and politicians.
