[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] What? You're anti-gun, anti-bomb, or anti-gun, pro-bomb? In recent months there's been a spate of murders of young black men, predominantly in south London. While at least one of these involved one kid being shot in his own bed using a machine-pistol, most of them have been committed by gangs wielding knives and hammers. I don't know if the pro-gun wingnuts in the States have picked up on these (knowledge of world affairs not being any of your's strong points), but if they had I'm sure they'd have lauded the circumstances. Primarily, of course, because to these people a few less black people is a Good Thing; ostensibly, though, they'd be quick to crow that it is proof that our gun control legislation does not stop murders. Most of these kids weren't involved in anything gang-related, so it appears their murders were either cases of mistaken identity, or they were randomly-selected as targets of opportunity for gang initiations. I'm quite sure that had the gangs had the access to firearms, they'd have just gunned them down (unless the close-in getting-hands-bloody bit is all part of the initiation). But they weren't, because guns are illegal here and they're not that easy to get hold of! When guns are prevalent, then all it takes for one to be stolen or sold improperly and it becomes "Huh, an illegal gun, nothing we can do about that, it's immune from gun control legislation."
