EU Referendum Tomorrow....

[vintage hunter]

Earlier in this tread it was mentioned about the prospect of tougher gun controls being introduced into the U.S.A.. In the U.K. we have some of the toughest gun controls in the world

Many anti-gun democrats in the U.S. strongly favor adopting British and Australian style gun laws here.

yet we still have gun related crimes being committed

Criminals who commit gun crime have no regard for the law so introducing tougher gun laws will not deter them from committing gun crime but it will penalise the law abiding citizen.

Right. But either the anti-gun bunch is too stupid to realize this or else they just aren't willing to admit it. IMO, the anti-gun movement in the U.S really isn't about reducing crime at all but rather has all to do with disarming the law abiding citizens altogether so the government can impose absolute authority over us without fear of an armed rebellion.
All of us here know full well the gun bans are generally ineffective at stopping crime. Take Chicago Illinois for example, quite possibly the toughest city in America when it comes to gun laws. In 2015 Chicago had over 500 gun related murders, and so far in 2016 there has been 300. So much for gun control keeping firearms out of the hands of criminals............
