If anyone is in the Security business England is the place to be right now. Thier crime rate is amazingly high comparitive to any other high economic country.
Regardless of percentiles or anything else thier happy gun laws are not working.
I go everywhere armed and England does not welcome people such as I with open arms. Whereas I was quite able to walk around Turkey with my gun and not be bothered.
Of course I had to pull some strings to get the weapon there. |
Anyone else worried about this....he was able to walk around armed, but had to pull strongs to get the wepon there?
Sounds like corruption to me. If people can wander aorund armed after bribery...a criminal act, then christ ONLY criminals carry guns.
Besides criminals are quite happy break the law to get a leg up.
Our gun laws are not perfect, but i've said before our death rate is a lot lower.

This site although possibly baised does seem to have accurate figures. The facts are simple. Turkey has a higer homocide rate then the U.K. where the overall gun-death rate is 1.35 per 100k people for both countries, out of those homicides the UK has 5.56 suicides to Turkey's
The overall homicide rate is over double in Turkey overall
in the U.K. crime is high. BUT is is far LESS harmful. Most crimes involved little to no victim/cirminal interaction.

"I've oft been told by learned friars
That wishing and the crime were one
And heaven punishes desires
As much as if the deed were done.
If wishing damns us, you and I
Are damned to all our hearts content.
Come then we may at least enjoy
Some pleasure for our punishment..."
