Thank you almighty deemer of intelligent ways to start posts for your wisdom. On the contrary, I don't think any more was necessary in my original post. The facts speak for themselves. Even though the crimes might have reduced in the last year, they are far worse than they were before they instated "gun control", an oxymoron.
I wasn't saying YOU weren't intelligent, just not your post starting skills.
And the "facts" of your article are rather sketchy. Especially when the statistics from the Home Office show them to be what they are, sensationalized figures from a very biased article.
Also, I'm not interested in that article, Kai, I'm interested in
your interpretation of it. That is the spirit of this place. Take that article, and then take your own stand, don't just adopt the one from the article because that's too easy.
Not to mention that just because there is an increase of gun use that gun control isn't working. The question you have to ask isn't whether or not gun use is increasing, but what would it have been without gun control? Of course, you can really only speculate on that, but in a society such as the UK where it is pretty hard to obtain guns, making them readily available would only logically lead to more crimes being perpetrated with the use of a gun. So is gun control necessarily a failure just because gun crimes are on the rise? I wouldn't immediately jump to that conclusion, but then again, I almost failed statistics so I'm surely not the right person to be spouting off about that stuff.
