Knifings, Shootings, and Overall Murder Rate are all up
These statistics are "Shocking" says the article. It seems their cunning plan to disarm everyone but the government STILL isn't working.
As the article states, there has been a
14% increase in the murder rate from 98' - 07'
28% increase in deaths from "bladed weapons" (WAIT! You mean people kill eachother with weapons other than "evil" guns?!)
and the real shocker.....
"Most shockingly, there was a 57 per cent increase in deaths caused by punching and kicking."
You mean people don't need a gun or other weapon to kill eachother? All it takes is intent and brute force? How can that be? Sarah Brady tells us we'd all be holding hands and singing kumbaya if we'd just stop clinging to our guns.
"The most common violent deaths last year came from use of sharp instruments – up from 201 in 1998-99 to 258 in 2006-07. Second was hitting or kicking, with 140 deaths."
"gun deaths fell from 56 to 49"
We continue to watch the failed experiment of gun/weapon control in the petri dish formerly known as Great Britain. Unfortunately far too many on our shores fail to learn from the UK's experience and continue to blame the gun. They fail to see the overriding proof that gun control doesn't work.

Thanks. It's always good to know people enjoy my (sometimes nonsensical) babblings.
