[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] It's occurred to me, all right.. it just isn't what the statistics show. I generally reject theories that don't fit the facts, unlike creationists and socialists. :) The police in the UK recently started carrying more guns as a result of an incident where some unarmed cops were killed by a person armed with a handgun, this is true. But this was ONE incident. However, the ban was supposed to take care of that problem. If the theory of banning was correct and the theory of reciprocal carry was incorrect, the number of gun crimes should have dropped substantially. That the number has not dropped, but in fact has risen by 30%, demonstrates that at LEAST one of the above conclusions is false. Either the gun ban is ineffective, or the gun use has risen in response to the police carrying more often, or both. Or perhaps there's a third factor... but you'd have to tell me what that is.
