Reply #195: It is disgusting and an aberration

[Hard2believe]

That the worlds most industrialized country has the worst rate of murder,suicide and accidental death, as well as injury ,than all the other combined first world countries.

You mention the police in the UK not being armed. They are. Not all but in high crime areas they are. All plainclothes officers are.

In the Republic of Ireland it is of en assumed the police are not armed. They are too, in high crime areas, and all Special Branch , Narcotics officers and CAB are armed.

However, the incidence of gun crime is minuscule in the ROI. Crime has risen in the Rep since the EEC allowed for open borders. These crimes are Mostly drug and female trafficking.

During the 70's at the height of the "Troubles" all projectile arms such as hand guns and rifles were banned. There was no increase in violence to those that were not involved in the paramilitary groups.

So for all the defenders of the gun laws that think that the US is Afghanistan or Iraq I am sorry and heartily sick of your brow beating and inane arguments that lambaste those of us that have to care for these victims.

We have a higher mortality rate through gun violence than Brazil. A developing country still mired in poverty.

For all you gung-ho warriors other than the recreational shooter of which I am one, go visit a hospital ward and see the a/ damage caused by an AK-47 to a nine year old who happened to get in the way of a bullet intended for her dad.B/ Console a nine year old that lost her/his dad because of a traffic dispute and the murderer with the clean record became a criminal in an instant because he had a gun. Big brave macho guy.

How about you go visit that lady in Arizona that lost her child and husband to a gang of gun toting lunatics that Hannity has orgasms over and so many of you are in sexual excitement at their carrying concealed and patrolling the borders from a group of poor Mexicans that have to trudge across the desert to try to make it better for their relatives.Minute Men. MYNUTE MEN (SIC)
You bunch are no better than Dobbs, Hannity, O'Reilly and that insane Beck.

I have seen bodies cut open and immediately shut due to the damage of even the smaller caliber guns, so before you think I'm off topic,because I referenced AK-47's I'm not.

Guns have one purpose. To KILL.
