And if knives are banned they will use rocks, or their bare hands. You cannot legislate hate out of existence.

You're more dead if someone kills you with a firearm. It's totally worse.

Too be fair, this has more do do with NYC's nosedive in homicide rates, and not so much with the rise in London's. That's not to say that London doesn't have a problem, but some aggressive policing that employed the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_windows_theory and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CompStat programs by NYC has been really effective in getting the homicide rates under control. Now London and NYC are on comparable terms, which pretty much illustrates that homicide is not a gun problem, it is a cultural problem.

but, but, but....there are NO guns in London. zero. it's the law.

so why is anyone getting murdered? they said it would stop cold once you got rid of the guns.

did they lie to you?

I still say we should make it illegal to kill people.

Just to be on the safe side.

Interesting stat on gun related crime in London.

Crime rate Year.................. 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009
Gun-enabled crime..............2961 3250 4005 4444 4025 3744 3881 3327 3459 2525 3295

But you never hear about those stats.

Maybe they are including the crime of having one. That would be a gun crime, wouldn't it?

At least since there are no guns in London, there would be no boating accidents, right?
