On Friday's 20/20, ABC anchor John Stossel discussed the self-defensive benefits of gun ownership, debunking the myth that "gun control reduces crime." The segment aired during 20/20's recurring series, "Myths, Lies & Downright Stupidity," based on Stossel's book of the same title. Citing the recent Federal Appeals Court for DC ruling overturning Washington, D.C.'s ban on gun ownership, Stossel talked to the pro-gun plaintiff in the case, Tom Palmer, and pointed out that the murder rate in D.C. increased after the city's gun ban: "Since Washington's gun law passed, the murder rate actually increased, even while America's murder rate dropped. It's because guns can also save lives, says Palmer, as one saved his years ago in California."
Yes I used your words against you to show how wrong you were. and these murders were NOT prevented by Banning guns. Which is the point of this entire discussion.
So if you wanted to get a gun in England you know where to go. Not a legal gun store, But a ficking criminal on the street.
in america, they can protest, 'i was looking after it for someone', 'i used to have a license', 'its my dad's' etc. you have no real stigma attached to them like we do here.

By cubanoafuego [Affiliate User] 1189383630 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeits just much easier to prove that people are in gangs, even if they say it. like i said, look at your rappers, they openly talk about being in gangs, they dont get arrested for it. it would be so much easier to stop gun crime if you simply said anyone with a gun got arrested. plus, bladed weapons account for more worldwide deaths because they are more available in countrys with tight gun control. this is not the case in the US.

By cubanoafuego [Affiliate User] 1189383327 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSo if someone in your country is speaking out against the Queen and drumming up a revolution, all a cop has to do is say he suspects thatguy of owning a firearm, Get a warrent, Search his house, "find" a gun and lock him up for 5-7 years. and you say Bush is Hitler?
If you ban guns You HAVE to search homes for them, you can't just believe everyone is going to turn them in.
And the whole point of this vid is that banning guns DOES NOT reduce Crime. You say "well the only ones shooting each other are criminals" No S**t Sherlock. So let's take the guns away from the law abiding citizens. It defies logic.
By mousepotato64 [Affiliate User] 1189382536 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI don't CARE what you think Or who you know. That is irrelevant. 62 Gun MURDERS. not crimes, not shootings, MURDERS in 2 yrs in a country that bans guns. You Know 2 ppl who have guns. What % of the population of england do you know. 45%? 50%? Probably more like .0000000045% and you personally know 2 ppl with guns. How many ppl that you know have guns that u don't know about? You want to argue anecdotally Fine. You still Lose.

IT IS CONSIDERED A BAD THING ALREADY. If having a gun there is worth more trouble than owning it, why do people go through with it? Is it because of the possibility that they may be shot up by rival gangs? Perhaps. Criminals aren't afraid to commit crime, like I said.

Don't for one second think they're not as deadly. And you said you could reduce crime by busting gangs for weapons. If they are active in a gang, THEN THEY ARE ALREADY COMMITTING A CRIME THEREFORE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO BUST THEM. What don't you understand about that?
By GuSevene [Affiliate User] 1189381368 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHitler agreed that banning guns was a really good idea. This gave him the edge to know his soldiers would deal with a much easier resistance while capturing all the Jewish people. If you don't believe me, there are plenty books and websites documenting this. If there is one thing in this country that you should value more than anything else, it is the right to bear arms. If / when a corrupt government or it's people erupt, you can protect yourself and your family.
