Due To Gun Control, Volumn

Due To Gun Control, Volumn MCMLXI - The British Home Office has released their new crime figures - and they're not pretty (the London Sun article is called "A Nation Stalked By Fear").

Violent crime jumped 22 percent in one year, and nearly every category of crime is up by double digits.

"But you can't tie it to gun control!", the left will answer!

And, as usual, they'd be wrong:

Last night’s statistics followed the revelation in January that the use of firearms was rampant.

A report showed a 35 per cent rise in gun crime, to 9,974 offences.

And officials admitted yesterday that possession of firearms, including sub-machine guns, was “out of control” in Birmingham, Manchester and three London boroughs.

Wait'll Citizens for a Supine Safer Minnesota hear about this!
