OK, No Guns, nowhere.
You believe that will stop violence.
Now this club lays on the ground,
it does NOT, hit someone all by it's self.
A, Person, has to use it.
OK, get rid of all, Clubs.
Guess we are back to rocks

Very Few guns in the UK, compared to other countries.
So their, IS, less crimes committed with, 'firearms'.
But ! Their is NOT, less Crimes.How many firearms are allowed in France?
And what was recently used in France.
Do you think, it is possible, that, if the Artists, had the Freedom, to carry a firearm, and knew how to use it.
It would have not been a, 'sitting Duck' event?
Or course we will never know.
Many years ago, listening to a PBS station.
(PBS = Public Broadcast, and is well known for, it's, Symphony type music, and it's ultra liberal, reporting)
It was just after, Florida passed the, Right To Carry Concealed law.
A PBS reporter, was asking a convenience store owner what he felt about the new law. He said:
"Yea got robbed every month, some times, two times a month. But the new law, not robbed once in the last 6 months, and it's all due to the new law, and the sign I put in the window".The PBS reported asked what sign. The store owner replied:
"The one that says, 'Free Coffee to anyone showing a Carry License',"Then points to the coffee machine, and says:
"Which one,of those 6 people, have a gun".Let's say, we lived in a world, with out, firearms, knives, clubs, or even rocks.
Someone goes into a bank, jumps over the counter, takes the cash.
No one can stop them, because their no, (see above)
Then drives away, in a Red Ford truck, with Goodyear tires.
So, it's clear, by banning ALL red Ford Trucks, with Goodyear tires, it will stop all Bank Robberies.
Silly? Yea. But it brings the point home;
Firearms do not cause any more crime,
than, rocks, clubs, hammers, screwdrivers, knives, or even, Cricket Bats.
It is the Person, not the object.
