Both Australia and Great Britain have had a dramatic rise in crime - and in gun related crime since "their bans". I have read that in Australia the crime of what is called in the United States "home invasion" has risen dramatically since the ban has taken effect. Yeah I can go dig up the statistics but I wont waste my time trying to preach to resident aliens and or Europeans that have already given away their right of self defense. So you folks that fear the gun stay behind locked doors and alarms and pray 911 works - as for me I'll be-a-waiting the criminals with old reliable - my winchester 1200.

Honestly I don't know who the "policeman" who wrote this is or if it is hoax. I also don't have any first hand knowledge of the site which "debunks". With that said I don't think that saying you can't trust the way the statistics are interpeted and then interpeting them a different way is fair either. I looked in my cynic's dictionary and found this definition of statistics. STATISTICS: the apllication of mathmatics to prove anything you want. |

That's the way the NRA works, a 30 minute TV advert using Australia to 'prove' that gun control increases crime was shown on US TV. This led the Australian Government to ask that all reference to Australia be removed from NRA propaganda. If you do a google search on "Ed Chenel" you get about 62 links. Only 2 of those sites expose this letter for the fraud that it is. The other 60 are pro-gun sites which put it forward as being real. Many exort you to 'email this to everyone you know'. Like the 'Switzerland myth' it will not go away.

Lighten up Iron.[/QUOTE]I don't know any gun owners that think that everyone should own them, or should have to. I am sure there are those who do, and they are just as wrong to force guns on someone who doesnt want them as those who try to take them away from people. |
