And only the government is qualified to decide who does need a gun, as in the U.K., where there are no mass shootings?

Derrick Bird shot dead 12 people in Cumbria (U.K.) and wounded 11 more, with the shotgun, with a three round capacity.

Only a total fool could believe that mass killers can be stopped, by limiting their "tool selection"!

The biggest problem facing our nation today is that, total fools abound in our society today.

RAPE, MURDER & MUGGINGS: LONDON NOW MORE DANGEROUS THAN NYC
posted by Ken Webster jr

There's just one little problem with the UK's fart-smelling and self congratulatory rhetoric: they're about to lose one of their favorite talking points. When conducting statistical analysis of their country and ours, they often lead with the obvious differences in the homicide rate. And for good reason - in most comparisons America's homicide rate is higher. We're a much younger & larger nation with more freedoms and one of the countries that borders us is among the most violent and corrupt in the world (you know who I'm talking about). It really doesn't makes sense to compare life in Manchester or Nottingham to life in a border-town. Heck, Britain doesn't even technically have border towns. The whole nation is a tiny island.

But the easy comparison between their murder rate and ours is quickly beginning to diminish, thanks in part to a new report stating their biggest city is turning into a much more dangerous place than our biggest city. Let's compare New York to London, shall we? This is gonna sting if you're British. London's monthly murder rate is now considerably higher than New York City. This is the first time in recorded history that we've ever seen this kind of shift.

Reports of knife crimes are soaring and these incidents are often fatal in the UK's capital. This is now the second month in a row that London has surpassed New York City for murders (and they don't even have guns). Last month 22 people were murdered in London & 15 in February. That's 7.5% higher than NYC. In the past NYC has always had a higher murder rate. This is a staunch difference in what we've seen month after month in both cities.

And that's not all - you're also 6 times more likely to be burgled (mugged) in London & three times more likely to be raped. If you don't think their refugee and immigration policy has something to do with this report, you're just not paying attention. London's Mayor has been a huge advocate for importing refugees and open borders. Not every immigrant is a criminal, but many of the people coming into the country through these refugee programs don't share the same values as the British natives.

While we're on the subject, don't forget the acid attacks! 2017 was the worst year on record for acid attacks in London, a commonly used weapon by thugs and extremists in the UK's biggest city. In January a 17-year-old London teen admitted to a court room that he carried out acid attacks against six people in a little more than an hour. The victims were mostly delivery drivers - the criminal was trying to steal their mopeds.

The real shift actually occurred last October, when crime across the UK went up by 13%, with a surge in violence in the capital blamed for much of the increase. The evidence is clear: London is far more dangerous than NYC.

If you're still looking at America's gun laws as an excuse for our violent crime rate, look harder. There's a lot more at play in these two nations. We have a far less in common than many would care to admit (population, GDP, lifestyle, border security) which is why comparisons between the two countries often miss the mark.

But London and New York City, on the other hand, have a similar population, economy and lifestyle. Comparisons between these two places make a lot more sense than comparing the two nations as a whole. And these differences don't look good for London.

But don't worry, London! You've still got Chicago to look down your nose at us.

And there are many other repercussions to this whole gun-grab thing......such as CONTROL!!!

"In China, corporate power is the same as political power. Ideologues and companies work together. And ordinary people obey, because they have no choice. Suddenly, America is moving in that direction. It's ominous." — Tucker Carlson https://bit.ly/2GUdQSW

So long as they don't shut down the pubs, Londoners will be obedient and OK.

Gatsby

Keep in mind that Londoners also had to mandate shatterproof mugs in their pubs, to lower emergency room costs!

Too many of them must have been jumping up off tables, shattering themselves, and cutting up their patrons.

The second amendment does not need to be repealed, and the very suggestion is an entirely inflammatory and counter productive thing to even say.

We need sensible gun control focused at background checks and doing the best job possible keeping guns out of unhinged people's hands.

That isn't going to stop gun violence but any difference it makes is worth doing.

Londoners are in more danger than NYers

Just out of curiosity: what other “rights” are you willing to sacrifice to make “any difference”?

You do understand that guns cannot be controlled; people must/can be controlled, right?

mactheknife

I agree and you are tacitly recognizing that it is the person that kills and that the gun is just an instrument like a car, a knife, a garrote, poison, or a bomb. Is that correct?
