Britain Is Bleeding: Violent Crime Rises In England Despite Gun Control. Britain is not so great anymore. Criminals will find a way. Take away guns they’ll use a knife, take away knives they’ll use a baseball bat or a 2 x 4 and so on.
According to the Evening Standard, the city of London has seen a 47 percent rise in knife crimes, including “214 killings, 391 attempted murders, 438 rapes, 182 other sexual assaults, and 14,429 robberies. There were also more than 18,500 assaults involving an injury or intent to inflict harm with a blade and 2,816 threats to kill with a knife.”
According to The Telegraph, latest figures confirm London is more dangerous than New York, noting New York and London have similar populations (about 8 million), but in London burglary is six times more likely, rape is three times more likely, and the risk of being robbed is 50 percent higher.

There is no mention in the opening story thread regarding a break down of the people engaging in this crimes.
What is their demographic?
Britain has a terrible problem with "migrants," or "refugees," and "immigrants," many of whom are not Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Laotian, Sri Lankan, Indian, and the like, but are Arab Muslim, North African Muslim, South Asian Muslim, etc. many of them being barbarians who enter a nation and demand the host nation gets down on bended knee and succumbs to THEIR demands, engaging in pedophilia, abuse of children, sexual assault, rape, sodomy, and the like, selling into sex slavery of children, abuse of girls and women, abuse of British citizens, engaging in Islam Police tactics, or whatever they call themselves today, in which thuggish Islam cultist males patrol the streets of Britian and chase off legal citizens who are NOT Islam cultists, and chase off tourists who are NOT Islam cultists, warning their victims that they have entered, or are about to enter, Islamic space and must leave.
The manner in which the Islam cultists convey their message is militant, determined, forceful, and threatening. In other words, terrorism and intimidation, taking over the streets of Britain, and damn those who live there, and damn the host country and its citizens!.
I am not so sure I wish to visit Britain at this time, as I once hoped to do. With threats against Prince William and Kate's family, threats against their children, with people being run down by Islam cultists driving motor vehicles over people, with Islam cultists chopping up with hatchets, knives, other cutting devices and stabbing people, blowing people up, tossing acid into people's faces, beating them with striking devices, kicking and punching them, kidnapping people, threatening people, raping women, girls, and children, engaging in barbaric practices of kidnapping, sex trade slavery, female genital mutilation, "Honor Killings," and taking over entire neighborhoods, towns, and possibly even counties or districts, abusing children and women in those areas, and the British government allows it, not taking steps to ensure British rule of law for ALL.
People in Britain appear to be bullied by their own fellow citizens who side with the Barbarians, and indict citizens for speaking out against what is happening to their country, to their own families, their neighbors and neighborhoods. It is not the introduction of different types of peole, in and of itself, a form of xenophobia. It is that those referred to are barbarians who have entered someone else's country and take it over, refuse to live by their host country's laws and cultural mores, and act militant about it, and that the government sides with the thugs and against the citizens, even threatening to lock citizens up for even comments made on social media, calling their speech hate speech and arresting them and dragging them through the mud.
Again, what is the breakdown of the type of people committing those crimes?
Age?
Nationality?
Origin?
Religious, theological, or ideological influence?
Political persuasion?
Sex (Male? Female? Are they homosexuals, transsexual, etc?)
These questions are important to ask, the answers quite telling.
Maybe time for "muslim control"....you know, a ten day waiting period, background check..Oh hell what was I thinking....
A guy on a reloading forum on Farcebook posted about how hard it is for him to get supplies.
Turns out he lives in England. He owns guns, but says it takes an act of God to get permission to get one, and ammo is even tougher, which is why he reloads. But then, supplies are tough to get too.
I thought guns were basically illegal, but it seems like you can have them, as long as you want to deal with horrible government bullshit.
I was in Vancouver and Victoria, BC last week. On the way back from the ferry to the airport we stopped at Bass Pro as we were early. They have no handguns for sale at all.
CO2Insanity, are you a US citizens, or a Canadian?
I am terribly angered at the oppression, the muzzling of free speech and free thought and free choice taking place in Canada at this time, with their "pretty boy, effete, Neville Chamberlain wanna be, Trudeau at the helm, with many in upper and middle government in Canda on board with the speech censoring, the one way thought process, the investigating, arresting, fining, and locking up of people who have committed no crime, but who speak truth regarding perversions, and regarding Islam and its terrible abuse of host country hospitality, demanding THEY be treated special, that the host country bends to THEIR will, and pushing Canada to go after its own citizens for DARING to point out the truth.
It is also evident regarding other moral, value, and safety and security issues. Don't DARE disagree with the powers-that-be or you will be harassed, muzzled, arrested, and worse.
What a MESS!!!
Same here in Germany.
I COULD join a shooting club, bring my firearms from the states, buy weapons here, and keep them in my home.
But with the rules and regs, why bother?
I do NOT want to allow the police to enter my home any time they feel like it, with NO warrant, just to snoop, just because I own firearms.
As a side note, the police here carry nice weapons, so in a SHTF situation, guess where I an getting my weapons.
Gee, do you suppose this has anything to do with the self-destructive insane pace at which they've been importing Muslim whack-a-doodles? And having a Muslim mayor who thinks Muslim terrorism is just something you have to learn to live with? And creating a Muslim-apologetic culture which makes it illegal to say anything about the problem of living with Muslims?
Right on, JP Travis!!!

Nah. They need more gun control.
I would say the rate is higher, considering how England counts its crime stats.
"...considering how England counts its crime stats."
How is English stats counting different?"
Edit: I see that stat counting is discussed in the article. My bad.
