In Britain, the general population has never had, or wanted, casual access to firearms, they were never commonly available and then restricted. (particlularly handguns, shotguns and rifles for farmers and hunters maybe a bit more common).
The restriction on owning firearms only ever affected a very small fraction on the population, changes in overall violent crime rates would be due to toher factors. IMHO |

Yeah, but I'm one of the milder examples.

I live in the south and by way of coincidence the lady who lives next door asked me just this morning about whether southerners are more violent than northerners. So, I shot her.
It doesn't prove anything though.

Oh, the gunshot didn't kill her. I wanted to see if the irony would.

If it was a 5 irony or a 7 irony, it would probably do the trick.

He's too close to the Mason/Dixon to actually peak the language, Bruce.

My Kentucky grandmother would have said "Lawd ah mercy." "Growed" was what her granbabies did. As in, "I swan chile, you'r gettin biggah ever day."
She never showed much inclination to violence except when it was time for a chicken dinner. I still remember being amazed at the chickens running with their heads cut off. My grand dad just worked the farm. By the end of the day, he was too tired to indulge in any possible violent proclivities. I think the study was apocryphal. Just some Northerners who still haven't gotten over the War between the States. ![]() |
