[2aguy]

The murder rate in Britain is going up....and as the same thing happened here in the 1960s, so it is happening in Britain now....their violent young males are beginning to murder one another, and innocent victims.......

Two men stabbed dead within hours as violent crime soars in London

The shocking attacks come as new figures revealed crime overall in London is rising, with significant increases in cases of youth violence.


A total of 35 young people under the age of 25 have been murdered in the capital in the last 12 months, an 84 per cent rise on the same period last year.

The number of cases of serious youth violence - a measure of gang activity - also rose by 18 per cent.

as well as a 16 per cent rise in the number of rapes.

-------

Gun crime rose by nearly 19 per cent and the number of shootings was up by 11 per cent to 338.

No....the number of illegal guns is up in Britain.....law abiding people are still obeying the law....

Law abiding people owning and carrying guns does not increase the crime rate......that is why gun banning and confiscation and all the other dumb gun laws don't lower the gun crime rate.....

Yeah, they're "law abiding people owning and carrying guns" until they use the guns for crime. And as the number of guns in Britain grow, it's no surprise that the gun crime rate goes up with it.

Of course, the number of guns per capita is faaaaaaaaaaaaaar lower than here in the U.S. What's the murder rate in Britain?

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.

-----


as well as a 16 per cent rise in the number of rapes.

-------

Gun crime rose by nearly 19 per cent and the number of shootings was up by 11 per cent to 338.

Post the murder rate in Britain, coward

I did...asshole...

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 .

The correct answer is less than 1 per 100,000. A figure the U.S. is envious of.

A fixed point in time......their gun crime rate has gone up....and up, and up....death is on the way...

Read the links.....it shows the increases just last year...gun crime up 42% in London, 89% just 10 years after the ban.....their gun laws are not stopping their gun crime from going up.....and they are cutting police resources and importing violent criminals from the 3rd World......they are in trouble...

Yet the number of guns in Britain continues to go up. You claim that has nothing to do with the increase in gun crime, and instead blame the gun control that has existed for years and kept the homicide rate so low.

Law abiding people owning and carrying guns does not increase the gun crime rate....criminals with guns increases the rate...their gun control laws are still in effect, their law abiding people are obeying those laws....and yet guns are flowing to criminals, and those criminals are using them and increasing the gun crime and gun murder rate...

Their gun control laws didn't stop any of it.....the fact is, their social welfare state can no longer civilize their young males who are raised by single teenage mothers....enough time has gone by, and after decades of teen mothers raising young males, they are now turning out violent criminals in larger numbers.

Add on to that, the increase in 3rd world immigrants who don't share the culture of the British people, and who are more willing to kill...and you have your increase in gun crime...

Gun laws weren't created because of law abiding people. Jesus fucking Christ.

Moron...they only effect law abiding people....dumb shit....

The criminals get guns...as the crime stats in Britain show...the only people not getting any fucking guns are the law abiding people......their gun control laws are not lowering their gun crime rate.

What's the murder rate in Britain? Post it.

No statistic predicts the murder rate as accurately as the racial demographic of blacks. What's the black rate in Britain? Post it.
