Violent crime on British trains increasing...but, they gave up their guns as trade for reduced crime

[2aguy]

They were promised reduced violent crime if they gave up their guns...since anti gun extremists believe that normal, law abiding people with guns cause violent gun crime. Now, the people who voted away their guns, are now being victimized by violent criminals at an increasing rate......

A disarmed society is a society of victims...

Jump in violence and sexual offences fuels rise in crime on railways

A jump in violent and sexual offences on Britain’s railways has fuelled a 17 per cent increase in crimes at stations and on trains, figures show.

British Transport Police (BTP) recorded 61,159 crimes in the year 2017-18, up from 52,235 during the previous 12 months.


Violent crime accounted for nearly one in five of all cases after rising by 26 per cent to 11,711 during the period.

Offences involving knives or other weapons went up by 46 per cent to 206, while robbery jumped by 53 per cent to 553 cases.

So your "argument" is that because crime is rising in a period of time, therefore it must be higher than crime in the US?

Right... how much brain power did it take you to come up with that nonsense?

If they gave up their guns they wouldn’t have more guns now than ever before, dipshit.

The GOOD NEWS is at least none of these disarmed helpless Brits need fear accidentally shooting themselves in the foot as they would have otherwise pulled out a gun to defend themselves. Now all they need to do is still worry about being robbed.

No, dumb ass. You guys pretend to be really stupid, but you pretend to be stupid to hide the truth that gun control doesn't work. As more Americans started to carry guns, our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, our violent crime rate went down 72%.......

Britain...banned and confiscated guns....and now their violent crime rates are going through the roof....unarmed people are easy victims so criminals victimize them ..... and don't have to fear the victims fighting back effectively....

Sexual offences generally don't involve a gun in the first place.

Guns Effective Defense Against Rape


However, most recent studies with improved methodology are consistently showing that the more forceful the resistance, the lower the risk of a completed rape, with no increase in physical injury. Sarah Ullman's original research (Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 1998) and critical review of past studies (Criminal Justice and Behavior, 1997) are especially valuable in solidifying this conclusion.

I wish to single out one particular subtype of physical resistance: Use of a weapon, and especially a firearm, is statistically a woman's best means of resistance, greatly enhancing her odds of escaping both rape and injury, compared to any other strategy of physical or verbal resistance. This conclusion is drawn from four types of information.

First, a 1989 study (Furby, Journal of Interpersonal Violence) found that both male and female survey respondents judged a gun to be the most effective means that a potential rape victim could use to fend off the assault. Rape "experts" considered it a close second, after eye-gouging.

Second, raw data from the 1979-1985 installments of the Justice Department's annual National Crime Victim Survey show that when a woman resists a stranger rape with a gun, the probability of completion was 0.1 percent and of victim injury 0.0 percent, compared to 31 percent and 40 percent, respectively, for all stranger rapes (Kleck, Social Problems, 1990).

Third, a recent paper (Southwick, Journal of Criminal Justice, 2000) analyzed victim resistance to violent crimes generally, with robbery, aggravated assault and rape considered together. Women who resisted with a gun were 2.5 times more likely to escape without injury than those who did not resist and 4 times more likely to escape uninjured than those who resisted with any means other than a gun. Similarly, their property losses in a robbery were reduced more than six-fold and almost three-fold, respectively, compared to the other categories of resistance strategy.

Fourth, we have two studies in the last 20 years that directly address the outcomes of women who resist attempted rape with a weapon. (Lizotte, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, 1986; Kleck, Social Problems, 1990.) The former concludes,"Further, women who resist rape with a gun or knife dramatically decrease their probability of completion." (Lizotte did not analyze victim injuries apart from the rape itself.) The latter concludes that "resistance with a gun or knife is the most effective form of resistance for preventing completion of a rape"; this is accomplished "without creating any significant additional risk of other injury."

The best conclusion from available scientific data, then, is when avoidance of rape has failed and one must choose between being raped and resisting, a woman's best option is to resist with a gun in her hands.

The point is that gun bans do not reduce crime

Never have never will

All gun bans do is leave people less able to defend themselves from criminal pieces of shit
