Lester I am sorry I red-Xed your post, I realize now your were kidding but, I didnt think at the time your were Joking around. You got to admit it was bad form........

How about this? Don't use the red-X? Don't meddle with what other people post. Don't run crying to moderators without waiting 12 hours or so? Sheesh.

Cordially,
Rush

How about a nice bar where no one has a gun? There are lots of them around my way, even though my area has a 'reputation'..it still sounds better than the nicest cities in the US.

Having spent the summer with the Crown Prosecution Service and seen first hand the number of firearms violations in the UK, ummmm, that "nice bar" probably has someone in it with a gun. Just so you know, it won't be the nicest person in there, it will be the criminal. And not just because she has a gun either.

I think I'd prefer my government to try and tackle the causes of crime (poverty, poor education, drug addiction, unemployment) that just arm everyone to the teeth and say "have at 'em!"

Let me know when you find a gov't that has done either.

Cordially,
Rush

Message 437980 - Posted: 16 Oct 2006, 20:33:07 UTC - in response to Message 436074.  

Despite these figures, the number of overall offences involving firearms has been increasing each year since 1997/98. And crime involving imitation weapons was up 55% in 2004-05 compared to the previous year. (Source: Crime in England and Wales 2004/2005)

Also of concern is a rise in the number of young people carrying real or imitation firearms in an attempt to boost their image or from a mistaken idea about self-protection.

Which was my point in an earlier post. It is not the gun's fault there is crime, it is the people that choose to commit crimes.

We don't blame the pencil for spelling errors...

Cordially,
Rush

I'm glad someone agree's with me. Thank you Siran and Michael.


What ? somebody finally agrees with you ? I always agreed with you. If you were the only guy with a gun in the bar, no problems. I would feel safer. Well, unless I spilled a drink on your wife.
