Yes......apparently this major city is experiencing gun crime to the level that 1 person is injured or killed every 3 days.......isn't there something that can be done....maybe gun registration? Maybe background checks?
Or how about they ban guns.....like Britain did...and now, in London they have 1 person injured or killed every 3 days.....for a 42% increase in gun crime in a city that bans guns, in a country that banned guns, an island nation that bans guns....
One person killed or badly injured by guns every three days in London
The statistics, obtained by the Standard under Freedom of Information rules, showed that the total number of people threatened, shot at, injured or killed in a shooting rose by almost 80 per cent, compared to 2015 when there were 10 deaths, 52 serious injuries and 322 fewer serious offences.
The figures come as a top surgeon issued a warning over the handguns used by London street gangs which fire low-velocity rounds, causing devastating injuries to victims.
Last year, a total of 691 people were threatened with a gun, shot at, injured or killed in a firearms incident in London.
Twenty-seven people are believed to have been killed in shootings and stabbings in London so far this year, compared with 20 by this time in 2016.
But......they banned guns.....right?
Then why do they need to deploy officers to high gun crime areas....? Why do they have high gun crime areas if they banned guns...for law abiding citizens?
Detective Superintendent Tim Champion, of the Met’s Trident and Area Crime Command, said: “Following an increase in the number of gun crime incidents, Operation Viper was set up in May 2016.
"This has led to Trident officers being deployed in areas of high gun discharges and helped to provide an even faster response to firearms incidents.
“Trident officers have also proactively targeted known gun crime offenders and carried out intelligence-led weapon sweeps.
“In the past two years, Met officers have taken more than 1,400 firearms off the capital’s streets, including 93 handed in during a one-week gun surrender in February.
