In Britain, man afraid of retaliation can't use gun to stay safe...all he did was defend himself....

[Dekster]

He has a knife to protect himself with. He has already demonstrated that he has the skillset to murder with one.

It is truly amazing how some use words to advance their agenda and manipulate some minds...

He wasn't found not guilty of murder

He should have never gone to trial in the first place.

You don't excel at reading comprehension do you?


Despite initially being arrested on suspicion of murder, Mr Osborn-Brooks has been released and will not face any further action, Scotland Yard has confirmed.

Where are all the low IQ Democrats and European cucks to tout Britain and greater Western Europe's pathetic health care system and their brainless gun control laws?

Can;t believe they arrested him. Should have given him a medal and a gun permit. Just more bullshit from the criminal-loving pieces of shit in power.

UK- 48 gun homicides
US- 11,000 gun homicides

Um, I think they have this figured out.

This man had his home invaded by two violent criminals, while he was home. This happens more often in Britain where criminals invade inhabited homes because they know the people inside can't shoot them. In this case, a fight broke out and one of the criminals was stabbed and killed. The innocent victim was arrested on murder charges but the charges were dropped...now, he is in hiding because he fears the criminals will come back and punish him.....the cops can't help him, he is on his own, and he has nothing to protect himself with.....since they banned and confiscated guns......

That wasn't murder, that was self defense.

He should go get a gun since it's not that hard for him to go get a gun in Britain

It is hard for a law abiding citizen in Britain to get a gun, but it is easy for a criminal to get one, as shown by their increasing rates of gun crime .....

Apparently not, since their gun crime rates are going up, not down, and our gun crime rates are going down, not up...

Britain...banned guns....

Culture of violence: Gun crime goes up by 89% in a decade | Daily Mail Online

The latest Government figures show that the total number of firearm offences in England and Wales has increased from 5,209 in 1998/99 to 9,865 last year - a rise of 89 per cent.

The number of people injured or killed by guns, excluding air weapons, has increased from 864 in 1998/99 to a provisional figure of 1,760 in 2008/09, an increase of 104 per cent .

Crime rise is biggest in a decade, ONS figures show

Ministers will also be concerned that the country is becoming increasingly violent in nature, with gun crime rising 23% to 6,375 offences, largely driven by an increase in the use of handguns.

Gun crime in London increases by 42% - BBC News

Gun crime offences in London surged by 42% in the last year, according to official statistics.

Top trauma surgeon reveals shocking extent of London’s gun crime

A leading trauma surgeon has told how the number of patients treated for gunshot injuries at a major London hospital has doubled in the last five years.

----

He said the hospital’s major trauma centre had seen a bigger rise in gunshot injuries compared to knife wounds and that the average age of victims was getting younger.

-----

Last year, gun crime offences in London increased for a third year running and by 42 per cent, from 1,793 offences in 2015/16 to 2,544 offences in 2016/17. Police have seized 635 guns off the streets so far this year.

Dr Griffiths, who also teaches medical students, said: “Our numbers of victims of gun injury have doubled [since 2012]. Gunshot injuries represent about 2.5 per cent of our penetrating trauma.

-----

Dr Griffiths said the average age of gun crime victims needing treatment at the hospital had decreased from 25 to the mid to late teens since 2012.

He added that medics at the Barts Health hospital’s major trauma centre in Whitechapel had seen a bigger rise in patients with gun injuries rather than knife wounds and that most were caused by pistols or shotguns.

Met Police commander Jim Stokley, who was also invited to speak at the meeting, said that handguns and shotguns were the weapons of choice and that 46 per cent of London’s gun crime discharges were gang-related.

He said: “We believe that a lot of it is associated with the drugs trade, and by that I mean people dealing drugs at street level and disagreements between different gangs.”

Violent crime on the rise in every corner of the country, figures suggest

But analysis of the figures force by force, showed the full extent of the problem, with only one constabulary, Nottinghamshire, recording a reduction in violent offences.

The vast majority of police forces actually witnessed double digit rises in violent crime, with Northumbria posting a 95 per cent increase year on year.

Of the other forces, Durham Police recorded a 73 per cent rise; West Yorkshire was up 48 per cent; Avon and Somerset 45 per cent; Dorset 39 per cent and Warwickshire 37 per cent.

Elsewhere Humberside, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Wiltshire and Dyfed Powys all saw violence rise by more than a quarter year on year.


The U.S., 600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense.......

We went from 200 million guns in private hands in the 1990s and 4.7 million people carrying guns for self defense in 1997...to close to 400-600 million guns in private hands and over 17 million people carrying guns for self defense in 2017...guess what happened...

Gun Homicide Rate Down 49% Since 1993 Peak; Public Unaware

Compared with 1993, the peak of U.S. gun homicides, the firearm homicide rate was 49% lower in 2010, and there were fewer deaths, even though the nation’s population grew. The victimization rate for other violent crimes with a firearm—assaults, robberies and sex crimes—was 75% lower in 2011 than in 1993. Violent non-fatal crime victimization overall (with or without a firearm) also is down markedly (72%) over two decades.

Yeah, they figured out how to get their criminals to commit violent crimes with knives and bats to cut down the population to more manageable levels.

US- Total homicides- 17,250

Violent crime overall has gone up by 4.1% nationally. A total of 17,250 people were reported killed in the US in 2016, with the number of murders increasing by about 8.6% in comparison to 2015.

But let's get 2TinyGuy to tell us the British have a problem and we don't.

I said violent crimes, not homicides. Homicides are generally a tiny percentage of all violent crimes (and an even smaller percentage if you include property crimes like burglary, which also do damage to society).

Besides, around half or most of homicides in the USA are committed by blacks and the USA has a much bigger population thereof, so there's a cause of that.

It's not their color, it's their culture. Learn the difference. White people, who live in similar places are the same. Violent. They resort to violence far faster than first world peoples. It's not the race, it's the culture. Pure and simple.

Except that people who live in poverty in other western countries aren't killing each other at the rate we do...

Mostly because they don't have a gun industry flooding the streets with guns.

Wrong, as usual. WESTERN COUNTRIES. Are not as violent as third world countries. Even when they are poor.

So explain why Switzerland isn't a violent crime war zone despite all their guns.

Because their guns are actually regulated.

They don't let crazy people own them.

Living with guns the Swiss way

Switzerland has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world, but little gun-related street crime - so some opponents of gun control hail it as a place where firearms play a positive role in society. However, Swiss gun culture is unique, and guns are more tightly regulated than many assume.

In 2006, the champion Swiss skier Corrinne Rey-Bellet and her brother were murdered by Corinne's estranged husband, who shot them with his old militia rifle before killing himself.

Since that incident, gun laws concerning army weapons have tightened. Although it is still possible for a former soldier to buy his firearm after he finishes military service, he must provide a justification for keeping the weapon and apply for a permit.

When I meet Mathias, a PhD student and serving officer, at his apartment in a snowy suburb of Zurich, I realise the rules have got stricter than I imagined. Mathias keeps his army pistol in the guest room of his home, in a desk drawer hidden under the printer paper. It is a condition of the interview that I don't give his surname or hint at his address.

Oh boy, another nonanswer!

Let's try it another way:

Where are guns more tightly regulated: Britain or Switzerland? And which of the two has the higher violent crime (or if you want, homicide) rate?
