I sure wont be poking any stick at you American's on this one, not now, maybe a few years back ??
Bloody hell - AGAIN - cops shot a nuter that went loose with 2 firearms last night, and wait 4it - he was in a wheelchair.
Lena is shocked at what’s coming across our News nearly every day. This place has more murders per week than it used to have in a whole year. All this makes it more difficult for the hunting and shooting fraternity
So – Aucklander, I cant back you up on this one !!!
This meph (P) or what ever its called – I feel is responsible for 90% of it, got to be something because bad crime has just leapt ahead this last few years
Peter you can poke a stick anytime LOL! Though I agree with you that it makes it difficult for the law abiding citizens who use firearms responsibly. That's my arguement and it drives me crazy when someone implies there is gunfire on every corner in America. Though that's the agenda of the anti gun crowd. What Oz was trying to describe above, especially the youth that are killed by firearms has nothing to do with legitimate law abiding citizens or accidents. Most violent gun crimes involving youth is gang related and they don't care whether it's legal or not to carry a concealed weapon.
Raging Bulls statistics are correct for Indiana, though the exception to be noted of the 356 murders they predominately come from two cities. Indianapolis, which recently has seen an increase in Murder(Mostly Gang and Drug related) and Gary which had always been labeled the Murder Capital of the States, which gets bounced back and forth with Detroit as number 1. This has geographical significance since interstate 94 has always been a pipeline for drug trafficing feeding Chicago and St. Louis.
My wife had a similar impression about the States as a wild west show. Leftist media will promote that there is gun play on every corner in America, which is false. When it comes to murder the United States doesn't even break into the top 20 world wide. You're more likely to be a victim of a homicide in Russia and Belorus than you will be in the states.
The gun grabbers are knocking on the door and with this new administration you will see an attempt to move the agenda further. An armed citizenry repels tyranny. This is significant in a historical perspective, Hitler disarmed the people and you see where that took the world in the 1930's, Stalin did the same thing. If you look at the countries with the most restrictive gun laws you will also notice they rate the highest in violent crimes.
The reason Indiana relaxed the deadly force rule was the national press Mishawaka got for the Lisa Bianco murder. Her husband was on a work furlough from prison, left and drove to Mishawaka and beat his wife to death with a shotgun in front of their children. He was in prison for assaulting her. An older gentleman witnessed this crime, he had firearms but was afraid to intervene because of the legal repercussion he might have endured for killing this murderer in the act of a felony. That's why the "retreat rule" was added. Also many people in Indiana live in Rural communities where police response can be up to 20 minutes. A lot of carnage can happen to a family in that amount of time. A person willing to break into one's home breaks the sovereignty of peace and security for people.
Sorry Aucklander, You're "joke" has no merit and was us simple folk here in Indiana say, "That dog doesn't hunt."
Periodically, about once every few months, the TV program I am watching is pre-empted by a police car chase on live TV. Sometimes, the supect(s) get out of the car and starts running. These suspects are allowed to flee because they are unarmed. Never did I see a policeman shoot an unarmed man on live TV.

Talking about police responding.
A mate of mine who used to be in the Police said "tell your wife/kids etc, if they are getting intruded or attacked by someone with a firearm - do NOT tell 111 (999 or whoever your emergency No is) that that person has a firearm - reason - because they wont come closer than 1/4 mile and they will just cordon off the immediate area and you will be left to luck and self defence for at least the fist few hours"
i live in the suburbs of philadelphia all my life. i've never seen a gun. i've never seen someone getting mugged. i've never seen any crime of any consequence. If it makes some people feel better to put down america, more power to them. we don't really need them.
Turkey is very beautiful country as like a paradise. You can see 4 reason at the same time. You can see when you search about Turkey. also you can see am i right. Alsa Turkish people very kind, honest, easy going and tender. I love TURKİSH PEOPLE.... i advice you Antalya, Alanya Side Muğla, Ölüdeniz, Bodrum, Kuşadası e.c...
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there is only one reason for the gun violence in America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is not the conservative 2nd ammendmant rights folks...... it is not the NRA! it has nothing to do with guns or law abiding citizens that own or carry a firearm..... it is the F-ING LIBERAL AGENDA!!!!!! LAWYERS!!!!!!!! and the bleeding heart mofos that cater to the less than upright and honest American ,,,,,,,
america caters to criminals --- bottom line --- if we punished people for their crimes there would be a lot less crime.... and if guns were outlawed - i.e. taken away from ordinary law abiding people, gun violence and crime would rise!!!!!! see thread on "do ukrainian women hate black men <sic>..." I was shot at in Bellflower, California for one reason and one reason only. That was twenty years ago. things have not changed. Do you know why? Because some liberal lawyer will do everything possible to get a guilty as sin mofo out of jail on some technicality. We do not punish criminals in america, we reward them. Send us you sick, your poor, your evil bastards to rampage and suck up social benefits. 20% of my paycheck supports those that should be and are incarcerated-- or better yet -- I strongly believe in the death penalty.. use it often... "oh, what about the innocent man that is executed?" What about the innocent soldiers who died so you could have the opportunity to be a criminal in the first place...??
Gun violence is concentrated into a certain sect of americans. If someone comes into my house to rob or whatever -- they get one warning -- and it sounds like this ,, "CLICK"
