The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. In the United Kingdom, gun banners are demonstrating this by now taking aim at gun replicas.
Of particular concern are replica firearms which are popular with gun collectors and can be bought legally but are being converted by criminals into lethal weapons to fire live ammunition.Can they not see that banning guns has had no impact on crime. By reducing the availability of guns, criminals switched to knives, swords, and converted airguns. So, they banned knives, swords, and airguns, and criminals switched to converted replica guns.Police say that the greatest increase in gun crime is linked to a rise in the use of imitation weapons and converted airguns. In London alone, at least 70 per cent of weapons now seized by officers are converted replicas.
The one constant is the criminals, and they seem pretty indifferent to their instrument of crime.

I heard that sometimes, criminal who are bigger and stronger will just beat up the victim to get what they want!
Ban Gold's Gym now!
I am already doing my part, I pay my membership, but I do absolutely nothing to make myself stronger or more physically fit.

All it takes is a little cash, and all it takes to make a little cash is a few strong-arm robberies.
Oh, and knife crimes are pretty rampant.
After all, people still need knives for cooking, and there's no chance that your victim will be better armed than you.
Posted by: Kevin Baker at May 11, 2004 9:53 AMDon't you know that it's not the human that kills, it's the weapon? Like SUV's. SUV's kill. Not the drivers behind the wheel. We must ban all guns and SUV's as soon as humanly possible. Only then can criminals and bad drivers be safe from the innocent!
