What they don't tell you is that in the USA they calculate gun murders by adding in suicides and accidents (accidents being a relatively small category though, only about 600 per year, the 2nd lowest category in the USA). My educated guess is that they also added in citizen defensive killings with a firearm and instances where the police used guns to kill someone.

I'll probably have more on this later. :wink:

south africa's crazy to the point where taxi driver have people sitting in the back with shotguns incase someone tries to car jack or rob them and if you go to a resort ver there, there's armed guards and you have to sign a disclaimer sayign if you leave the resot it's of your own accord and anythign that happens is nothing to do with them.

No britain? sure we'll be in there within the next few years.

all trhe gangsters up in glasgow r starting to use guns more often now. 5 guys have been shot in the past week with gang related stuff.

Maybe they took into consideration all the hunters in Canada :lol:

Gun violence is a real problem in Toronto. Every week, there are people shot and killed. The police say its gang related. Its pretty scary :shock:

If you're worried about crime, buy a gun, even if its off the black market. Its the right of every free person to defend themselves, and besides that, gun ownership discourages tyranny, that's why governments try to squash gun-rights advocates.

However, if you have a gun that you're worried is going to start committing random acts of violence, PM me with the price you want to sell it for, and we'll work something out. :lol:

if you know who to speak to you can hire guns here. bout £250 for a day or buy the thing for £500.

if you hire it off them and you fire it you need to pay more and explain who you shot at/ where etc... so they can cover it up.

Don't hire someone to bodyguard you. Buy one yourself if you can (not sure what kind of disarmament laws they have over there).

More information on the disinformation the victim-disarmament group spreads: In the early 90s we were subjected to an intense media campaign about child gun deaths, with the statistic that at least 1 kid (under the age of twenty) dies each hour from a gunshot and 5 are injured in the same amount of time. These lies were accompanied by video clips of children finding guns in dressers and doing stuff like looking down the barrel. Most of the kids shown were under 7. However, according to medical records and government statistics of the time, less than 10 kids under 10 died in gun accidents. They got their incredibly inflated statistic from adding in all the gang deaths involving minors, all the times that citizens shot minors in defense, and all the minors righteously shot by police in the commission of a crime.

There is no epidemic of gun deaths in America, despite what the media will tell you. Guns are used between 700,000 times and 2.5 million times per year in self defense by citizens, often involving the mere showing of a weapon to an assailant. Citizens kill between 3-10 times the number of assailants as police officers do, and police shoot and kill the wrong person 11 times more than citizens do.

i meant hire a gun not a bodyguard. as i say if you know who to ask it's relatively easy to hire one out either to scare someone with or to use for whatever reason you feel the need.
