Deker 3,453 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I am confident in saying it has gone up every year since they banned hand guns etc......Oh.. I feel so much safer now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff.C 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Gun crime up by 4%? Now that surprises me,I would have thought it much more than that! I have noticed though,very little, if any gun incidents are reported as involving a sawn off shotgun. With handguns seemingly freely available,from perhaps middle eastern or Russian sources,no one uses the sawn off now. Perhaps those of us with legally held shotguns etc will be left alone for a bit? No needless restrictions thought up as a knee jerk reaction? Well we can hope anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SNAP SHOT 194 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 but is that 4% on the licenced law abiding citizens guns, or the unlicenced ones the crooks use a proper survey please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway to add some more info.... Depending on whose figure you look at between 1% and 2% of gun crime is committed by licence holders, which would suggest between 98-99% was commited by illegally held guns. Now ..who can define "Gun Crime" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
