Gun crime in Britain.

[Zampa]

Tis true, gun crime is all over.

I do agree (sorry!) with joe-90 though, I used to live in (or at least very very near to) Nottingham myself and it's more rife there than anywhere else, including the inner parts of London. It's one of the reasons I moved away - pure fear.

In terms of the race issue, there is a valid point to be made, however. As a member of a "minority group" myself, I always tread carefully on these issues. But we need to look at facts. Most of the gun crime in Nottingham has been perpetrated by people of a black origin. Personally, I reserve judgement. It sounds like such a worn cliché to say "a lot of my friends are black", but in my case it's true. They do tend to carry the blame for their race, but there's an opportunity there for the taking to educate each other on peaceful living.........

Its a tricky one isnt it..you cant tar everyone with the same brush (no pun intended!) its certainly not fair to say 'all blacks carry guns'..but maybe reasonable to assume that if its street based gun crime...then the majority of cases involve blacks..

Same issue as mugging...no of course not 'all blacks are muggers' but...and its a big 'but'...the majority of muggings are carried out by blacks (fact...sorry)

But..just to balance the books...

Not all white people rob banks..but the majority of bank robbers are white..

Personally the colour or the race isnt really the issue...its the fact that the scum sucking vermin are doing it in the first place...and getting of lightly!
