Just as I thought. Brute force crime is far superior to allowing citizens to defend themselves with guns

The anti-gun crowd likes to say gun crime is down in England but ignore crime statistics that prove violent crime is increasing.

People carry knives because the British government won't allow them to carry firearms for self-defense. Why is also why we see off-duty British soldiers, forbidden by the government and British Army from carrying guns, being killed on London streets by death-cult lunatic Islamic terrorists using knives and cleavers. Insane...

They gun-grabbers love to talk about "gun crime/violence/deaths" and ignore "knife/bludgeon/hands and feet violence".
My reply is, with a nod to Gertrude Stein:
"A corpse is a corpse is a corpse".

MAJ Hugh Blanchard - it is sad that for the American soldier the most dangerous thing for us is ourselves. I have seen to many soldiers take there own life or come back from deployment just fine to get into a car crash and die because they did not put on there seat bet or had there motorcycle helmet. To many soldiers battle there problems and hide that they have a problem it is not the guns. Had a SGT after a deployment came back and OD on pain killers. The problem is that we cant just pass a law to make it all better.

SSG (Join to see) - If anyone thinks "Guns cause suicide", then how is it that
Americans are so incompetent in suicide? They can't keep up with the suicide rates of other nations, even with the use of guns for that purpose.
The USA, # 1 in gun ownership, is in 50th place worldwide, tied with Uruguay at 12.1 suicides per 100,000. That is far behind "gun free" South Korea with the second highest suicide rate in the world ----- 28.9 / 100,000, even though South Korea is 148th in the world in gun ownership with 1.1 guns per 100 people.
If you prefer to look at a European Culture for comparison, it is interesting to note that while Lithuania has the lowest rate of gun ownership in Europe, 0.7 per 100 people,
(about 64% the rate of South Korea) it still manages to somehow attain the 4th highest suicide rate in the entire world, 28.2 per 100,000.
The highest rate of suicide (44.2 / 100,000) is in Guyana, where there are apparently not enough guns to go around, and the prevalent suicide method is poisoning oneself with insecticides.

CW3 Harvey K. - I think about 20,000 Americans kill themselves every year with a gun and that the gun is just a tool that they use. A lot of people will do different things. Pills, car, cutting, heck jump off of a bridge. We cant make it all illegal. Getting ride of guns may reduce gun related deaths but I don't believe that it has any positive impact on crime or suicides.
