Im curious what point you are trying to make? It seems completely unconnected to DBJ's post.
But the Swiss stats are much worse than the UK stats when you factor in population size and ignore Northern Ireland for obvious reasons (and even then the stats have come down massively since the ceasefire).

Re: Sorry officer you got the wrong address...
So if you drop Northern Ireland, can we remove NYC, Chicago and LA from our gun stats?

You're forgetting D.C., which up until the Heller case had simultaneously the most draconian anti-gun laws in the US while also having one of if not the the highest per-capita murder rates in the country.

My argument is not about gun control with the knife blurb. It is humans find ways of effing each other up with or without guns. Guns are really not the problem. Human beings are the problem.

Re: Sorry officer you got the wrong address...
True.
I was on the wrong chart, I was looking at raw numbers, not per capita.

I assume this is related to mandatory military service? I was talking to some guy from Austria once and I think they have a similar thing there, but I seem to remember him saying the government comes and inspects your guns/ammo a couple times a year to make sure you don't use them and you have to take mandatory classes yearly or something like that? I think he said any purchase of ammo you ever make is tracked to you based on some number you have to give.
Basically allowing your trained military reserves to keep their weapons at home under super tight restrictions seems to have no relation to deregulating ownership of firearms.

He may have assumed they were burglars and hoping they would retreat without any shots fired.

Re: Sorry officer you got the wrong address...
Wait, you dont think Britain has gangs?
And you think gang activity can compare to a full on terrorist insurgency?

Re: Sorry officer you got the wrong address...
I know you guys have your own gangs...
But you asked DblJ about throwing out #s in those cities. Hell, I think it was in Chicago that the Outlaws blew up a store front in similar fashion to the IRA.

Re: Sorry officer you got the wrong address...
I wonder what would have happened if the gunfight had gone the other way and the guy had killed all of the cops? Acquittal, or life in prison?

lol if you think that if this guy would have shot the cop first , he would be alive today to stand trial. He would have been shot and killed that night regardless.
