I thought that Great Britain had strict gun control. Apparently, I was
misinformed.

Sadly, some of the criminals round here don't always obey the law.

Imagine that. Same here.


Even so (http://www.crimeinfo.org.uk/):

€ Pro rata, the USA has 34 times the number of homicides involving
firearms as England and Wales.

You're cherry picking. What about Scotland, huh? :-)


€ Switzerland and Canada have three times the number of shooting
deaths as the rate in the uk.

Guns are readily available in the US. I have three. I'd bet that the
average number of guns per American ROFF poster is greater than one.


I just happen to live in the worst street in Britain. Although nearly
all my neighbours are very good people, many of them come from a
country where gun crime and drug dealing are rampant, and the very few
relatives they have who are gun-wielding criminals tend to gravitate to
this neck of the woods.

It must be tough to live in a neighborhood where you're at a
disadvantage when you go unarmed. I'd move if I were you, but if for
some reason I couldn't move, I'd pack.

So you're saying you have a lot of Texans living on your street...

;^)

Good one, George.
