When Britain banned and confiscated guns back in the 1990s....what happened? The gun crime rate stayed the same...in fact, it spiked for years after the confiscation, then returned to the same point it was at before the confiscaton...so banning and confiscating guns from normal people did not change their gun crime rate....but....their violent crime rate spiked and stayed high.....higher than ours.....
And last year, they had a 4% increase in gun crime....
Man arrested over shooting of teenager in north London
Police investigating the shooting of a teenager on his doorstep in north London have arrested a 20-year-old man on suspicion of attempted murder.
The suspect was arrested in the early hours of Thursday and is being held in a north London police station. The arrest came less than 48 hours after the 18-year-old victim was shot outside his home on Denmark Road, near Turnpike Lane, just before 3.30pm on Tuesday.
He remains in hospital in a critical condition after paramedics and an air ambulance crew fought to save his life.
Detectives from the Metropolitan police’s Trident area crime command, which investigates gang crime and non-fatal shootings, have appealed for witnesses.
They are also investigating whether the shooting is linked to a row that the victim and his brother had with a man on a bike about two hours earlier on nearby High Street.
