#157705 — You are safer in the US than in the UK

It's just a fact.  Gun-free zone Great Britain, like all gun-free zones,
makes for open season targeting of the innocent.  More killings in the
US though, since we get to shoot the fucking low-lifes before they have
a chance to harm us.

America still the murder capital of the world
---------------------------------------------

The easiest way to get gun control is to get its owners
to go register IN PERSON their personal devices EVERY YEAR for $10.

It doesn't violate the right to bear arms.

Full ownership documents must be presented.
Full proof of ID must be presented.
No more than 2 devices can be registered per day
for personal use per person.

It doesn't violate the right to bear arms.

Devices left unregistered for more than 3 months
will need to be destroyed and can't be re-registered
unless exceptional circumstances apply.

It doesn't violate the right to bear arms.

All future guns must be manufactured to
have a 5 digit counter to indicate
how many rounds it has fired.

It doesn't violate the right to bear arms.

If the gun has been used between registrations,
an explanation must be given as to what it may
have been used for when re-registering.

It doesn't violate the right to bear arms.

If no explanations are given, or if gun
has been used one or more times, then 
a fingerprint of a fired bullet is taken.

It doesn't violate the right to bear arms.

Yes, you must be a lot safer in the U.S. (not!)  - your murder rate is over 
3 times that in the U.K., even though you have fewer large cities/head of 
population, and 8 times the land area/head of population!

Don't get me wrong - I've only been arguing about the phoney figures you 
choose to post.  When it comes to high murder rates in the U.S., I've no 
objections at all!

Yeah that's realistic.  Just the populations of NYC and Los Angeles
amount to roughly half the entire UK population.

Violent crime rate in UK is about double that of the US.  That's because
we have guns and keep the criminals in check.

I have to agree with Köhlmann's assessment here. He was right on the 
money with flatfish+++ and DFS, who are both sociopaths. :)

It's comes as no surprise that Germany has an even greater drug problem
than Britain:

"Two Kansas police officers responding to a report of a suspicious 
vehicle were fatally shot in the head outside a grocery store Sunday night."

"A third officer who fired back at the shooter was not injured, said 
Topeka Police Chief Ron Miller."

"Police identified the shooter as David Edward Tiscareno, 22. He managed

Hmm... so if you walk around with a gun, and two armed buddies, you have 
a one out of three chance of being the person who lives?

"A third officer who fired back at the shooter was not injured, said 
Topeka Police Chief Ron Miller."

So the one who used his gun to defend himself survived.  Good point.

   Issuing traffic citations is actually quite dangerous. You never know
who you are going to stop, and what they are up to, or what they are on,
or what else they have going on.

    Avoiding this sort of result is already addressed by normal police
procedure and training.
