Re: UK: "Gun crime" goes up by 89% in a decade

Two comments:

First - Andy, you don't really read those rags, do you? Or just for amusement?

On a more serious, cynical note; I read a few months ago that in Chicago (my old home town) they started classifying murders as something else - like, "non-consensual death" or some weird euphemism, to arbitrarily lower the reported crime rate. I suppose now that I've mentioned it I'm obliged to look it up and post a link...

Re: UK: "Gun crime" goes up by 89% in a decade

Hi Andy,

Read the article, could not help but notice the two hands holding the pistol in the poster - looks like a CZ52 maybe? - one hand was black, the other brown, neither white. Are they implying that only people with African or Asian ancestors shoot each other, or what?

The comments are telling, as are the + / - votes on them.

Anyway, thanks for the link.

Finally noticed it is a 2009 report. Any idea what the current statistics show?
