The Met Police’s figures showed there were 2,544 gun crime offences from April 2016 to April 2017 compared to 1,793 offences from 2015 until 2016.

Knife crime also increased by 24% with 12,074 recorded offences from 2016 to 2017.

But this is impossible!

they aren’t protesting inanimate objects hard enough.

Opinion | I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.

>discovers that gun crime and gun availability aren’t actually meaningfully connected and that the phenomena is better handled by focusing on the cause of violence rather than the tools available

>discovers that most gun control bills seem to be proposed for the purpose of appeasing public outrage and spiting disliked demographics

I honestly don’t give a good shit about whether someone can conceal carry on city buses. I’m not worried about it. Nobody should be.

No one should carry on public transportation?

Actually, people should be allowed to carry on public transportation, as they should everywhere, if they own a legal gun.

It’s a classist move to not allow carry on buses. It’s the only place a lot of people get to exercise the right at all.

Secondly, police aren’t there instantly. In the time it takes for police to get there it could be too late. With legal carry, this doesn’t happen.

edit: I might’ve misinterpreted what you said, sorry if that’s the case.
