Society Is Safer When Criminals Dont Know Whos IS Armed
LOL Greencloud! You're such a banana. And I can tell you've never left your own shores. Have you ever been out of your own state? Sure, I could post that sign outside my house - the neighbours would think it was rather odd, the postman might crack a wry smile. Beyond that, it wouldn't make a ha'peth of difference. Why's that then? Because none of the other houses have guns inside either. Everyone knows that, including burglars. You might as well do what some loony lefties have done, and post a sign outside that says your house is a nuclear free zone.

A typical burglar comes unarmed. Folks have noticed that too many burglars here don't get jailed for first offences. Why's that then (apart from our govt's soft on crime policy)? Because they're unarmed. Were they to have been armed - even with an
imitation firearm, it's an automatic 5 year jail sentence.

Wrong. I have no criminal record and no police record. My English friend in AR tells me that he could indeed buy a gun if he were so inclined. He isn't.
I'm fascinated by the changes apparently being made to US gun laws and, more to the point, the
reasons for these changes. You guys are now having to undergo background checks and a ten-day wait/cooling off period? Why is this? Doesn't your 2nd amendment guarantee that you can buy a gun whenever you want?
Maybe - just maybe - your leaders have begun to realise that Guns-4-All is not such a good idea? That seems to be the case with Mayor Bloomberg of New York. According to your own NRA, Bloomberg is
vehemently anti gun, and yet...
Since Mike Bloomberg took office, crime is down 20% citywide and down in every borough. Murders are down 25% to the lowest level in 40 years. Domestic violence crimes are down 27% and arrests for violations of Megan's Law have more than doubled. Subway crime is also down 10%. According to FBI statistics, New York is now America's safest big city.
and...
"Mayor Bloomberg has brought vision, innovation, and dedication to the fight on crime. He hasn't just made our neighborhoods safer, he's brought about courthouse reforms that help keep them that way. Thanks to Mayor Bloomberg's Operation Spotlight and Gun Courts, career criminals and the guns they use aren't just getting off our streets, they are staying off." said Dennis Quirk, president of the New York State Court Officers Association.
