First, I must ...I will take to task your argument.<br /><br />First, I must say that your comment is interesting, and has got me to thinking. i will, in the future, rethink my position. <br /><br />So, lemme see where to start. How many of these embolded robbers have guns? Did the article say. Perhaps, if you are right, there are more violent B&E's, but the presence of a gun doesn't make a crime violent. ANY weapon can bump the crime from theft to robbery. Even physical assault without a gun. so, maybe there are more violent crimes, but how many people are shot because of it? we talking about guns, not violent crimes. lets keep the scope of the argument focused.<br /><br />Is it proven that the reason that american robbers are deterred by guns, or the impending probability that they will go to jail just AS OFTEN as they are to be shot? perhaps great britain doesn't jail their offenders as often as does the United States, and the deterrent of jail, not potential guns in households, is a deterrent. did the information you came across clarify such facts? i would like to know.<br /><br />at best, i am not wrong, just posing a more accurate argument. haha. <br /><br />plus, i am ideologically against them. perhaps if we all were, things would end up better. naivity of youth i suppose.Karl Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14785101654884826350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230607586159448384.post-50353004402749986562010-05-23T20:19:35.559-07:002010-05-23T20:19:35.559-07:00I shall start with a quote.
The most foolish mist...I shall start with a quote.<br /><br />The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing."<br />~ Adolf Hitler <br /><br />And now a bit of a news article from uber liberal MSNBC<br /><br />Terrifying home invasion burglaries are not rare events in England. Overall, Great Britain has a higher violent crime rate than the United States, and a higher burglary rate. <br /><br /> Significantly, only about one-eighth of American burglaries take place while the victim is home, whereas over half of all British burglaries do.<br /><br />One reason that British burglars are so much bolder than their American cousins is that only about 4% of British homes legally possess a gun, whereas about half of American homes do. British police administrators require guns at home to be stored unloaded in a safe, and that ammunition be in a separate safe. No American jurisdiction has such extreme “safe storage” requirements. As a result, an American burglar who breaks into an occupied home faces a significant risk of getting shot.<br /><br />As I detailed in an article in the Arizona Law Review, when an American burglar strikes at an occupied residence, his chance of being shot is about equal to his chance of being sent to prison. According to a study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about half a million incidents every year in which an American burglar is scared away by a victim with a firearm.<br /><br /> And that my friends is merely a part of why you are wrong.Travis Erwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09420879160702098979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230607586159448384.post-91172373100937289992010-05-18T15:26:58.565-07:002010-05-18T15:26:58.565-07:00THANK you! i saw Stephen Colbert do the same thing...THANK you! i saw Stephen Colbert do the same thing and i LOL'd.Karl Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14785101654884826350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7230607586159448384.post-18417360796300998272010-05-18T13:24:39.855-07:002010-05-18T13:24:39.855-07:00Heres my input.
