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.

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

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

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

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.

Who are 'our' troops, Raven? The Moroccans who fish in the Atlas
Mountains? The Afghan guerrillas fishing in the Hindu Kush?

This is an international NG.


Get out of here you kiwi fruit. The internet was invented by Americans
and is for Americans. You should just kiss our asses on a daily basis
that we let you foreigners use it!

Appropriate name for the closet Communist. Hmm, likes to rabel rouse,
tries to get allies fighting each other. Yep, Red the Pinko. Let me
guess, you hate all them snotty 8th grade graduates. Old Red here is
kinda ****ed since his mother went and married that Pakistani and
kicked him outta the basement.

Imagine that. Same here.


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

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


€ Switzerland and Canada have three times the number of shooting

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

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.

Maryland.
