COMMENTARY: What happened to the gun debate? »
Posted By Progressive 5 months, 2 weeks ago in Religion
You know by now that in Washington, D.C., on June 10, an elderly white supremacist and anti-Semite named James W. von Brunn allegedly walked into the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum with a .22-caliber rifle and killed a security guard before being brought down himself. He’s 88 years old, with a long record of hatred and paranoid fantasies about the Illuminati and a Global Zionist state. How bitter the bile that has curdled for so many decades.

Another liberal rant. Look at Britain and the fact that guns are banned there. The following is a quote from a web site on crime in Britain.

"Britain has the highest rate of burglary in the European Union and is also nearly top of the league for assaults and hate crime, according to a recent survey.
The EU crime and safety survey names the UK as a "high crime country" and says the risk of becoming a victim of the 10 most common crimes is, with the exception of Ireland, the highest across the European Union.
London also emerges as the "crime capital of Europe" with the likelihood of becoming a victim - mostly of a range of petty crimes - said to be higher than all other EU capitals and even higher than cities such as Istanbul and New York."
Since guns are banned they now are facing a knife problem. Here is a quote from another site.
"London - Britain is redoubling its efforts to stop young people carrying knives, after a volley of fatal teenage stabbings and headlines warning that the country is in the grip of a knife-crime epidemic.
Police have embarked on a stop-and-search operation to retrieve weapons, the government has warned of tougher sentencing for teenage culprits, and a "youth summit" has come up with a $6 million ad campaign to warn of the perils of carrying a knife. "-

Another statistic without context. You need to provide data as to what you are making a comparison to. Apparently, either Denmark and Finland are not part of the European Union or your statistics may be suspect.
Considering the gun regulation that is prevalent within the European Union, this may not be a good comparison to attempt.
Ironically, the safest countries for burglary? Many of the middle-east countries, like Yemen, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, etc.......
