Gang shootings in Britain are escalating...but, they banned and confiscated guns, right?

[2aguy]

And here we have it....more gang shootings in the island nation that banned and confiscated guns.......

And before the anti gunners say....in a whiny voice..."But...But.....compare that to the U.S...."

They banned and confiscated guns.

They are an island nation, without easy accessible borders.

And their gun crime rate is going up....and their criminals are now starting to shoot to kill, they are not playing around anymore.

Surge in London gangland shootings as record 880 guns seized in a year

The number of gangland shootings in London has surged as criminals used weapons to intimidate rivals and settle disputes.

New statistics reveal “lethal barrel firearms discharges” in the capital rose by nearly 13 per cent in 2017. Police also seized a record number of guns.

Detectives say they are also witnessing an increase in the number of linked shootings — most involving gangs firing weapons at rivals or their property.

Maybe the gangs don't know about the law?

Gun numbers have risen to above gun-ban levels. So it's no wonder gun crime is on the rise.

And the nutcase dream. Right here in America. Aren't you nutters going to be so proud when someone eclipses the Vegas shooters record?

Done now? Good. Now, compare their gun related deaths to the U.S.. They're doing it right. We need to do what they are doing.

So you are calling for bans and confiscations and totally ignoring the 2nd Amendment ?

Sure are some scare plastic and composite materials in that picture.

No what it shows is that criminals don't give a shit about laws.

I'm sure it's hard for you to separate the voices in your head from what you read here. but you should at least try.

More bullshit. You really need to learn to read things and understand them.

Number one, guns aren't banned in the UK. An estimated 4% of people own guns. But you knew that and yet you come on here time and time and time again and peddle this shit.

Number two, the article says:

"There were 350 shootings in the 12 months to the middle of January compared with 310 in the previous 12 months. "

So, there's a surge, from 350 shootings in 12 months from 310 shootings in 12 months. This isn't murders, it's shooting. But let's compare shootings in London, population 8 million, with murders in the US by state.

Murder in the United States by state - Wikipedia

Alabama. Population 4 million, half the size of London. Murder rate, 348 in 2015. Okay, so London's shooting number is about the same as Alabama's murder rate. Taking that about 3/4ths of murders in the US are with guns, that makes it at about 261 gun murders for a population HALF that of London. So, if it were the same size it would be 522 gun murders in Alabama to 350 shootings in London.

Texas, 27 million people, 1,316 murders. So, 987 gun murders. Texas is 3.375 times larger than London in terms of population. So, divide that 292 gun murders in Texas to 350 shootings in London. Yeah, Texas has a slightly LOWER rate of gun murders than London has a shootings. But then we're comparing shootings with murders. Big difference.

A little bit of understanding might make you look a little less foolish.

No, it doesn't actually.

Criminals in London are far less likely to use the guns they own than criminals in the US are. Why? They fear losing those guns. In the US there's a ready supply of guns. In the UK it's far more difficult to get guns, and far more expensive. Doesn't mean they don't use them. But like my previous post, there are a LOT LESS uses of guns in the UK than the US.

Yes, I've noticed.

 

[frigidweirdo]

Maybe the gangs don't know about the law?

What law would that be?

Would that be the law that allows people to own guns in the UK?

Gun ownership in England and Wales: get the figures in your police force

"How many legally-held guns are out there? Around 1.8m, it turns out."

Yeah, in the UK there are 1.8 million legally owned guns. That's MORE GUN OWNERSHIP than Idaho. The UK is 4/5th the size of Idaho and has MORE gun ownership. Go figure.

How Many Gun Owners Live in Your Home State?

Idaho - 55.3%

Idaho - Wikipedia

Population Ranked 39th
• Total 1,716,943 (2017 est.)

1.7 million at 55% = 940,000

Oh wow.

 

[idb]

I'm betting that all those shootings in the UK get reported in the media.
I wonder why?
If they're so rampant nobody should be taking any notice...just like the US.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

If the US column was coloured in white like all the other countries it wouldnt look so bad. #fakenews

 

[LoneLaugher]

How can the OP not get bored?

 

[rightwinger]

But...but......the UK just had two more gun murders

That is the same thing as the US having 8,000 murders
