Has gun crime and gun deaths decreased or increased since the blanket banning? Not interesting in political baloney statements like "victims have rights" etc. We all know that. Your answer here is pretty well going to be upon political lines, as I am sure it is over there. "Reason" and other Pubs have run article after article showing that when people have guns, crime goes down, but those that want them banned will give you opposite stats. The huge increase in crime in Britain and Europe has given legs to those here who believe you have to be tough on criminals. I enjoyed your weather yesterday on the telly while watching the Senior British open, which is not too far from you at the Turnberry Golf Club in Ayrshire, Scotland. Will see the end today.
