"London has overtaken New York City's murder rate for the first time in contemporary history as the capital has been overwhelmed with a spate of stabbings."
CLEARLY false news, EVERYONE knows only guns kill people!

Fake or not I filed this under "who cares" the second I finished reading the article yesterday.

The price they have to pay for living in London. Just ask their mayor, he'll tell ya.

Murder rate up 40% in 3 years. That's impressive. The UK should just fully embrace socialism. They apparently haven't moved far enough yet. [Sarcasm2]
I love the broken off bottle.

Just sitting here trying to figure how they expect it to be slipped thru that slot...
Anyone else see the irony of the Essex Police emblem on that box...

I'm still trying to figure out how the Cookie Monster got involved in this mess.
Could it be in part due to the influx of refugees in the same time-period? Of course not. That would be racist.

I had the exact same thought! I guess he loves to eat cookies, so might as well love to eat knives too!

It's part of his community service requirements.
These clowns get what they deserve. The Brits can piss off. The last time America gave 2 shits about what the Brits had to say was on July 3rd, 1776.

I think you're missing a couple of world wars in your timeline.
Would it not make sense to have a bill/law/act that prevents us from helping a foreign nation that has disarmed its people?
If a nation won't allow its people to defend themselves why the hell should we? It's a lost cause!
Why did gramps go over there in the first place?!? Why did so many not come home?!?
It's safe to assume that there are calls for mandatory knife registrations by now? waiting periods to buy a knife? Maybe even mandatory locks to keep them out of the wrong hands? Knife Confiscation next? It's for the children's safety!!!!

They went over there because the Germans were working on a V3 rocket with a nuclear weapon and the target was New York. I'd still rather live in London than New York.

No screwdrivers? So, what, do they only allow nails?

This sort of takes the wind out of the sails for those who urge us to look at how well things have worked out for England after they banned guns; eh? Of course, that would require acknowledging facts which is something the Left always refuses to do.

You'd rather live in the London of today. Do the math and look at the trajectory. What is going to stop it from getting worse?

Doubt this has a single thing to do with guns.

No, it does because this violent crime rate and stabbing increase comes after knife bans more stringent than the gun control laws being proposed. This puts the lie to the argument that bans will reduce violence.

That might be true, but we'll never know. Similarly, I doubt crime would drop with knives and guns legal, but again, we'll never know.
I say let em stab it out. Those fuckers have killed each other with swords for hundreds of years. If anything give them bigger knives

Of course we "know". The AWB of 1994 was a clear example of how a gun ban had no effect on crime rates.
I think my point was that the presence of guns has no effect either way.

No doubt indeed!
Probably in the ICU with a stab wound.Did Jeremy Clarkson get tired of his BS again?

Some would argue that that the crime drops (with the exception of terrorist events) since the expiration of Clinton's AWB and other loosened gun laws has proven this point already. Gun laws got looser in the US and crime dropped. Gun and knife laws got implemented in the UK, Australia, etc. and violent crime has increased. Not completely proven but certainly evidence for the defense.
I've been in that camp before for sure. After living outside the internet for a while, I get the impression that most criminals are criminal stuff regardless of what laws are in place. I'd imagine that crime rate has a much stronger correlation to population than gun laws, but I'll stop raining on the parade in here.

Here is a recent article, that has the same info we've all seen many times before (because the facts haven't changed) about guns vs murder rate.
