GUN CONTROL....is it a good thing (888)
Hugz_n_Kissez: I agree with that...because violent criminals are not going to stop being violent with the absence of guns...that is their weapon of choice right now...remove it and they will only find another way...violence resonates with the person...weapons don't make people violent....they are only a tool used to carry out their violence....

A knife attack every 4 minutes; 130,000 per year - but ministers still insist crime rates are falling

Blade Britain: Knives were used in 14,000 robberies last year
More than 350 people are the victim of knife assaults every day in England and Wales, the latest crime figures have revealed.
Last night a teenager in Lambeth, London, became the latest victim of the stabbing epidemic, dying in hospital after a frenzied attack.
Almost 130,000 attacks involved knives last year - equivalent to one every four minutes - according to the annual British Crime Survey.
This figure does not include the tens of thousands of assaults against under-16s. However, unlike the police records published yesterday, it does include crimes which are not reported to the authorities.
The police data revealed 22,000 serious knife assaults - including 231 attempted murders - were reported to the police last year.
There were also almost 14,000 reported robberies and more than 8,000 woundings.
As the Daily Mail revealed exclusively yesterday, the forces' data, which was gathered for the first time this year, starkly illustrated how knife crime has spread beyond the major cities into the shires.
The British Crime Survey figure of 130,000 knife attacks is substantially higher than the police's figure. This is thought to be because many victims never report being threatened with a knife - and even assaults needing hospital treatment go unrecorded.
The phenomenon of 'hidden' knife crime has led senior doctors to call for new rules making it compulsory for hospitals to record knife injuries.
The British Crime Survey, based on interviews with thousands of households across the UK, showed overall crime down 10 per cent to 10.1million offences.
Police figures, which typically capture only around half of all crime, showed a similar trend.
Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve pointed out that the police figures showed violent crime up nearly 80 per cent since Labour came to power. The BCS trends were more positive.

How right you are....we now have a knife culture here in Scotland...and they are used with equally devastating results....
Our First Minister Jack McConnell has now put plans in place to jail offenders for a maximum of four years just for being found to be in possession of one if stopped and searched by the Police.------ This thread is Archived ------

That kind of backs up my belief.
More knives = more stabbings
More guns = more shootings
Just that more often than not, guns do more
damage than knives.
I think the fatality figures suggest that.

When the last H-bomb has done it's stuff
And stilled for good the giegercounter's voice
When there's nothing left but just a few of us,
Then will come the moment of my dreadful choice:
Invent the peaceful wheel? Oh dear me, no!
Let those who would assauge the general woe.
I plan to freeze my neighbors to the bone and marrow
By re-inventing the bow and arrow.
(Author unkown, but obviously intelligent.)

bodleing: I agree Hugz, I mentioned that earlier.
I just think its a matter of more guns = more shootings
I just think its a matter of more guns = more shootings
And I happen to think it's a matter of more responsible gun education + more personal discipline = less shootings.
Hope you're well, Graham!
