The ammount of people killed in gun related crime, the ammount of peope killed in non


What borough? gun related crime, and the same for a comparative country that has different laws.
Well tbh I don't have the statistics on me. I did an indepth 12 page report on why gun laws were to strict in California and the U.S. in general a few months back and I had reliable statistics and info. I could check my computer's saved files for the report, any notes, or sources if you want. Otherwise you could probably find info through google or wiki

    i can work out the proportions.
    That really wouldn't work, if you take England, a lot of England lives in high urban areas, of which most have to have pretty high incomes in which to live.

    Here we have huge open spaces and gaps in our geography but many people still live out there.

    The major cities have just as many, if not more, low-income/poor people than wealthy people.

    People have got to understand that basically everything in this country is based on firearms. The country was founded by weapons, the mouths were fed by use of weapons, and the place makes tons of profits by building weapons.

    If people know this, then they should understand that banning firearms outright may not work. There is far more to it than just banning firearms.

    Funny you say that, because the NRA has been behind stricter weaponry laws in the past.
    Fair enough, as i said i don't know much on the topic, but i figured the people for guns wouldn't be the best place to look for statistics.

    you looked to know a lot on the subject so i thought you might have known some accurate stats, rather than me trolling through google when i don't know what im looking for.

    Thats a very brash assumption, the vast majority of the inner city UK citizens live in poverty, most of the money in this country is in the countryside, mostly the homecounties.

    I think your definition and my definition of poverty may differ a bit.

    I don't know much about the situation, but from my understanding....The situation is as it is, because of the situation you can't simply make firearms illegal, that would just be impossible. The only workable solution in my arms is the eduation to the current generation of children to the dangers of firearm ownership both for protection and in general usage and at the same time through local government schemes encourage firearm owners to give up their weapons. I don't know how workable it is, but this situation is as it is and you can't turn back time to reduce gun ownership.

    Well think of it like this:

    Within 40 feet of me are about 50 firearms, now, if they made them illegal, what would you do?

    Only the law-abiding citizens are going to turn them in, thus leaving only the criminals with guns.

    Also, do you think the manpower exists to go around to everyone's house and take their weapons?

    I just said it wasnt workable to make them illegal.
