Mate, come on. I know acid attacks went a bit mad a few years ago but we're most definitely not 'rife' with machete and acid attacks. That's a huge exaggeration.
Just type into Google "machete attacks uk", there's loads of them. They aren't reported on main stream news now because there's that much of them, you only see them in your local rag, and if you lived in London you would see this is common place.
Okay, fair. Seems that machete crime is actually much more prevalent than I thought. They're not on the list of banned blades, what the actual fuck?
Ah yes. The city is rife with violent crime so let us make guns legal so that the violent criminals can get access to even more deadly weapons. What could go wrong? While we're at it why don't we legalise nerve gas too? If someone breaks in to my house at night I can simply put on my gas mask and kill them with Novichok before they even make it up the stairs.
It's quite common for gangs of school kids to attack others with machete's nowadays in UK.
Oh yes, I do know about the gun violence. Do you know who shoot each other? Gang members! They don't go for the average joe!
It's not just gun violence, in Sweden you have had a huge increase in Rapes and sex crimes recently as well (as well as other crimes), what are your police doing about that?
Yeah, it really does. I can't help but think of that cutscene in Assassin's Creed (first one, I think?) where the guy isn't stabbed but rather slashed to death.
It's that same old problem; almost everybody likes to think 'ah, but if it was ME there with a gun, I'd have saved the day/stopped it happening/gone about things differently'. Yet time and again this is proven to be wrong. There's no weapon that saves you from a committed individual getting the jump on you, and we've seen scenarios where people with guns are present at the scene of attacks and either do nothing or flee anyway.
Guns do work, the only thing that violent people respect is the thought that they might get killed if they pick on someone with a gun that would shoot them. The only reason some in the USA want them banned is so they can control the population easier - that's my opinion, of course you are free to think how you want on this. Personnaly I'd like to see guns legal in every single country in the world and for any criminal that gets shot and killed while carrying out a crime, for the victim to be rewarded by the system rather than investigated by it. You'd soon see the crime rates become virtually non existant overnight. Also I'd bring back the death penalty in UK and hard labour in the prisons.
Do you have any PROOF the getting rid of guns helps the innocent that are the victims to violent criminals in any way whatsover?
