twfowler, re: I see, so out of all points are arguments that might support either side oe neither, you get to pick one and decide that that is the only point that matters That would be the vacuous liberal mind at work, nothing matters but what they tell you is important. So far tejek hasn't come up with a single idea that would be useful other than disarm the law abiding citizen. Even when faced with the statistics from a non-partisan UK government report that that tact did nothing to reduce gun use in crime. I think it's because the liberals agenda is not about reducing gun related crimes, but solely about disarming the average law abiding citizen. That would also be the experience of the NRA, as the entire issue has become political which has nothing to do with facts anyway - just turf and body count in a war of words.

Ignoreing the fact that there is a lot of other differences between England and the US, and that as the US has become more armed, violent crime has dropped, while at the same time the UK has become less armed and violent crime has gone up. Because after all you have decided that any arguments along these lines are "just a lot of words" Get your facts straight......violent crimes were dropping under the economic good times of the 90's....that trend has reversed in the past year as economic conditions have weakened. In addition, I would be stupid to believe there is no correlation between the number of guns in a society and the level of gun violence but you believe what you want.
