[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 2021958, member: 7815"] The UK is a terrible choice for gun controllers to idealize. Notice how carefully they limit the discussion to homicide rates. The UK [U]overall[/U] violent crime rate is about four times greater than the US. That represents thousands upon thousands of robberies, serious assaults, and other violent crimes. A terrible deterioration of the civilized social fabric; imagine the insecurity and misery that causes. Banning guns in Britain has meant you get a "Clockwork Orange," bully-run society where the young, strong toughs rule the streets. Where any two athletic guys with a baseball bat can invade and rob your home, terrify your family, without fear that you will have the tools to fight back effectively. That doesn't fly here. Why anyone, but [U]especially[/U] women (who are most likely to be at a physical advantage to attackers) would want to bring that kind of dysfunction to America is almost unimaginable to me. I can only conclude they are ignorant of the facts, or they haven't really thought it through. [/QUOTE]
