Looting, cohesion & gun control

[Crazed Rabbit]

Gun control DOES work to the extent that it limits guns only to the most determined, professional criminals. Houligan rabble in Britain don't bring guns to the party.

And it completely eliminates citizen's ability to defend themselves. Considering that, in a one on one, unarmed fight with a criminal, the criminal, due to size and strength, will nearly always win. In a situation like this, you're leaving the poor people defenseless against the looters and criminals.

And gun control doesn't even limit guns to the 'most hardened' criminals. Consider Jamaica, were it's illegal, on penalty of life imprisonment, to illegally own a firearm, and the only people who don't own an illegal gun are those who don't want one. A rudimentary firearm is very easy to construct. The only reason more crooks in Britain don't have them is they haven't put forth the effort to get or make them, perhaps because they don't need them because the populace is disarmed, so a knife will do.
