lol, you are just completely making stuff up! And making yourself look rather stupid in doing it, go again and look at BNW's posts (oh and the links he is considerate to include with them), you might learn something.
Maybe you should admit that the UK is not as safe as you claim.
A lot of PURPOSEFUL obstinance going on here. I understand what you mean, and it is perfectly logical. The Democrat city leadership of these cities that have a violent crime problem where a gun is used by criminals will NOT address the problem. IF it were addressed, the violent crime, and murder rates where a gun is used would be lower than many other countries. ENFORCE existing laws, and give real jail sentences, not plea deals.
Maybe you can offer mayors and police chiefs in these cities some suggestions on how to address gun violence. Which laws are they not enforcing, the US is one of the most incarcerated countries in the world and you seem to think that that jail sentences are a deterrent, do you have any facts to back that up.
How about trying tougher restrictions in states that are a source of guns for criminals in many cities.

Compared to most of the world, the UK is a very very safe place to live, and the murder and violent rime rate has fallen steadily since 2003, indeed it's halved, and the CSEW shows a continued fall. There has also been a new crackdown announced and the gangs are being systematically shut down by units Trident and Gang Crime Command ,which took out one of the major gangs the other day, using over 200 officers and taking members off the streets as part of Operation Viper.
Organised crime and gangs who supply drugs operate in most large cities, and the police and National Crime Agency are wise to them and publish annual reports regarding organised crime activity. New laws including those related to money laundering and unexplained wealth orders wil help bring down the senior gang members, and new violence reduction legislation coupled with greater powrrs of stop and search will help hamper the streets gangs.
A further more controversial way to stop gangs may be simply to provide free heroin and other drugs to addicts on the NHS, thereby making the price of drugs plummet, which will have a knock on effect on orgasnised crime and strett gangs.

There's a lot of violence in a lot of countries, by international standards London and the UK are very safe.
