My question was to Islander.

Having spent a few years away from this place I'm obviously now a millionaire astronaut, and my cocks grown several inches but other than that no. |

That it's entirely unrelated to my comment? |
I don't think it's entirely unrelated (one thing proving another, especially where gangs and drugs are concerned), but I would still be interested in your thoughts on my question. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

It's definitely indicative of underfunded, under resourced policing. |
I think there's an element of that. But I also think that there is drug and gang culture in London that causes the crime in the first place. So whilst I place some blame on the authorities, from government down, for not providing sufficient resources, you can't blame them for the actual criminal activity.
People who aren't criminally minded won't go around robbing and stabbing others. Nor would they go around shooting others if they had guns, as you have yourself. Not that I would open up gun ownership here, but in the US it would be almost impossible to end civilian gun ownership. They have to work realistically from where they are. The vast majority of gun owners in the US don't commit gun crime. So it is in large part down to the culture, the gangs, the drugs. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

No it didn't. They just latched on to an opportunity. They also had gambling, prostitution and other things. They had those things before prohibition, and they had them after. And throughout it all, they used violence, with and without guns. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Even if America banned guns only law abiding people would give them up. Criminals, mass murderers they would all keep them. Or just kill a cop and take their gun. People seem very eager to avoid looking at the root causes presumably for fear of seeming racist.
Which again involves guns but wasn't caused by guns. Murderers are not motivated by the ready availability of weapons, but by the desire to murder. Secondly restricting guns is not a deterrent because it's 2 years for an illegal gun but a lifetime for the massacre, so a rounding error! |

So, an answer to your question could be that it's proof that you lot can try really hard to fuck yourselves up but you are still in the kindergarten leagues when it comes to killing each other.
Edit: Take out the Snackbars, Eastern Europeans and Asians and your figures would be pathetic. |
It's almost as if you think it's a good thing that Americans go around killing each other a lot.
But you're still alive, and it isn't because you're so macho and intimidating, i'm prepared to bet. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Americans already have the answer to most of their problems. It's called "The Constitution". But is it even taught in their schools anymore?
And it may not answer everything, but without a solid base to build from, a country has nothing. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

He bought the firearms and then went on a killing spree within days of his 18th Birthday. You can't seriously suggest had he not had access to those weapons he still would have entered that school, killed that many people, with the police outside shit scared of a teenager. |
