In Britain, man executed, with gun in front of mums with children...

Moron...it is the CDC research..... and counting dead thugs doesn't collect all the data...are you this stupid, or just pretending to be this stupid......most criminals, as you have been told over and over again, run away instead of getting shot......or they surrender, rather than being shot, or when shot, don't die....but still get arrested.....

Again, given that we have 2 million people in prison, you'd have us believe that we have 1.1 million being scared off with a gun and being arrested? Really?

Come on, it doesn't pass the laugh test.

There is no relation between suicide rate and gun ownership rates around the world.

Let's look at that from GunPolicy.org

The UK- 106 gun suicides out of 4800 total suicides. (7.60/100K)

The US - 22,938 gun suicides out of 44876 suicides (13.9/100K)

Yes, having guns makes suicides worse.

But let's look at other peer countries.

Canada - 544 Gun suicides out of 3924 suicies (11.44/100K). Canada has looser gun rules than the UK, but tighter than the US>

Germany - Has probably the loosest gun laws in the G7 other than the US.

but their suicide rate is still lower than ours (12.60) with 719 gun suicides out of 10,000.

The country that throws everything off, of course, is Japan. But Japan is a country where suicide is not only culturally acceptable but even a long part of their traditions. (It is better to die than bring shame upon your family.)

Again, 23,000 gun suicides a year, too high a price to pay for your fetish.

And of those 2.2 million in prison, the democrats keep letting out the most violent offenders over and over again.....

Are you seriously saying Democrats deliberately change the law to allow murderers/violent offenders to go free? How do they do that?

They fight increases in sentences and fight to reduce sentences for violent criminals, on top of that, democrat prosecutors and judges allow known, violent, repeat gun offenders to get bail, and to get light sentences even for repeat gun crime.

Really? So the law in America changes depending on political leanings only? Remarkable. I assume you can provide concrete evidence to back up your assertions?

No.....sentencing and handling of criminals changes dependent on the political affiliation of the prosecutor, and judge....... and the politicians who reduce the sentences for violent criminals, and fight to keep stiffer sentences from being enacted...

Another unsubstantiated assertion, prove it.
