How about you actually look into the facts on gun crime before you use "statistics" to back up your arguments.
I can't even be bothered to argue with you its pointless.
Please do tell me where I am going worng on Gun Crime I am truely intrigued. I thought I was quite aware of Gun Crime. I know that the vast majority of shootings in Birmingham are black on black and that I guess they dont have Firearms Certificates for the weapons they use. I would be surprised if your average Birmingham guy could get a Section 5 certificate which is now required for the legal possesion of such weapons. I suspect most of these shooting are gang/drug related.
So please BB tell me where I am mislead or misinformed on gun crime, I REALLY REALLY REALLY am interested to know. It is futile you saying look at facts before using statistics to back up my argument. Well good statistics are individual facts turned into a single understandable format isnt it?
If the statistics say gun crime with the use of handguns has risen x% doesnt that mean the facts are more guns are being used in crime?
If your saying the use of guns is rising because of their association with drug dealers and organised crime, then yeah your probably right. That points that what I am saying is right though. Gun crime isnt a problem because of the legal use of guns or their availability but for other reasons. So surely they should treat the cause rather than try and treat the effect? But I suppose thats another topic, as it is we have wondered O/T as is.
