Particularly their sense of humour and their inability to criticize themselves - as it would be .... unpatriotic. :roll:Quote:

If you've got money in USD you'd better sit tight and wait for it to get better ... Obama!
I'll keep working on that.Quote:

Types of firearms used in crime 2006/07 - handgun 43%. My point was handgun bans do not work. Britian banned them, yet they are still used in 43% of crime involving firearms.
Also look here:

In terms of Jamaica, I mis-typed. It should have been 2005, not 2006. In 2005, 1627 (some articles have it as high as 1660) murders were committed in Jamaica, although I cannot find the exact article that said over 1300 were by guns. I also mis-spoke. Jamaica has a TOTAL firearms ban, not just a ban on handguns. However there is an article here:
http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/edito...RICAN_GUNS.asp
which just says most involved a firearm.
P.S. - I don't know about the U.K., but in Canada if you use a replica firearm (which are banned) or an air gun to commit a crime, you will be charged as if you used a real firearm. I would assume the U.K. is the same since THEY INCLUDED replica and pellet guns as FIREARMS in their stats.
