However, it is interesting that the 2011 statistics show that there were 11,227, which is still more than the 2003 number (9,974) and 2002 number (7362). And that represents more than the 600% increase (if my math is right,MIT represents a 781% increase).<br /><br />A later article found that in the decade after Dunblane laws, the British have seen an 89% increase in gun related crime. (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1223193/Culture-violence-Gun-crime-goes-89-decade.html).<br /><br />What's even more interesting is that there has been no change in the rate of gun related homicides. Since 1995, pre-Dunblane, it's remained .1 per 100,000 (with the exception of 2001 when it rose to .2 per 100,000).AngryBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121915142399397657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-29578171874914798672012-12-16T15:09:46.990-05:002012-12-16T15:09:46.990-05:00"Forget Muslim terrorists, it’s time to focus..."Forget Muslim terrorists, it’s time to focus on those Christian and Hindu terrorists.

Weapons used reflected only the size of death toll.<br /><br />We have embraced a culture of decaying morals: <br />separating Religion from individuals,<br />promoting/tolerating homosexuality,<br />facilitating sex at ever younger age,<br />removing any guilt from killing babies (Abortions),<br />raising babies without men in their lives, <br />producing babies with artificial insemination via nameless sperm donors, <br />violence everywhere - Movies, TV, Video games, Cartoons, Comic books,angry protests,.....<br /><br />And when a tragedy like Newtown strikes, supposedly a First World society is scratching heads, searching for answers!<br /><br />I bet no one is studying to see if removal of "God bless America" from our lives have any bearing on such tragedies.<br /><br />Take away the guns from the crazy's hands and I am absolutely sure that they will surprise the so-called brainiacs with never-before-heard-of ways to achieve their 15 minutes of fame.<br /><br />Sad thing is, there are many crazies still at large waiting their turn.<br /><br />I wish modern medicine finds ways to detect future crazies in a fetus.

I know that's horrible to think, but that is how I mistrust Liberals. It was horrible at that school, and will probably destroy the lives of those who have to deal with the bodies of those children. Making a political anti-gun issue out of a psycho's behavior does nothing but create more room for another psycho. I kept thinking of the show where they had a woman in Hiroshima who was the only survivor out of her school of 300. How was it ever totally acceptable, even during war, to destroy 160,000 civilians in one flash of death? Was it any less psychotic? The logic of the world defies any logic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518677967627217789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-54277435704443344022012-12-15T11:18:27.791-05:002012-12-15T11:18:27.791-05:00As senseless and sad as this latest excursion into...As senseless and sad as this latest excursion into madness is, the fact remains that the 2nd Amendment was written into the Constitution, by the Founders, to limit the chances of a tyrannical dictator taking power thru force.<br />When the left begins the usual chant for more gun control and eventual<br />confiscation, <br />I'm always reminded of the old bumper snicker, " Guns don't<br />murder people, pathetic, sick assholes do"....<br />Not law abiding gun owners....HiPlainsDrifterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833593306596635632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-35606816387227049612012-12-15T09:34:46.366-05:002012-12-15T09:34:46.366-05:00BATF death count...76, including 17 children at Wa...BATF death count...76, including 17 children at Waco compliments of Janet Reno and Bill Clinton. 200+/- (number of children unknown) in Mexico thanks to Fast and Furious and Eric Holder.

Daniel's title states the simple, common sense truth. A few voluntarily armed citizens represent the first line of defense to terrorists and madmen who invade "gun free" zones. Liberal rubrics assure only that such areas are free of defensive, life-saving guns. "Law enforcement" arrives in time to preserve the crime scene and precisely measure the blood spatter.<br /><br />More importantly, the hysterics ignore one of history's main practical lessons: at least 100 times as many citizens (previously disarmed) have been murdered by their own governments in the 20th century than were killed by criminals. This is scrupulously documented in "Death By Government." Although, as a rabid liberal, he is surely impervious to empirical evidence, maybe I'll send Mayor Bloomberg a copy. He would also be among the first to say, "It couldn't happen here!"<br /><br />Civil WestmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-55548816974244752292012-12-14T16:57:38.931-05:002012-12-14T16:57:38.931-05:00When you refer to the rise in gun crime in the UK ...When you refer to the rise in gun crime in the UK you must bear in mind that these figure are AFTER ALL Legally owned handguns were confiscated.
