As a UK citizen I have noticed over the last few years the amount of people being shot; has I think escalated. I have also noticed that a lot of domestic kills, meaning wife and child murders are being carried out with the aid of firearms. I know from programs on TV that it is easy to get guns through our borders via the channel tunnel, if illegal aliens can get in that way, then a thing as small as a gun would have no trouble.

The UK police force have also been using firearms more since the terror campaign by shall we say people of Middle East Origen. They have made a few mistakes, and in my eyes a few is too many. I have been wondering just lately if the growing amount of fire arms in crime might be due to the corresponding amount of police carrying firearms. The British police are now at the stage of paranoia, a case I remember on the news only a few months ago where a child of six was running around in his own garden with a plastic cap gun. He was reported to the police by a so called guardian of the peace, and within ten minutes of him being outside three police cars and a police helicopter were surrounding this child all armed to the teeth, talk about overkill. They took the plastic gun off of him and confiscated it, now it’s hard enough for a determined grown up to get a real gun over here, where the hell do they think a six year old is going to get one. The police inspector told sky news that they confiscated the weapon for the child safety, they obviously thought the boy would get plastic poisoning. But on a more sinister note, it might have been that they were worried that one of their trigger happy cops might shoot first and ask questions later.

Now the question I would like to ask, is do you think the escalation in gun crime has rose because of the few police being armed? Or is it because we are now in a more sophisticated world, and it gives them the slight edge.

At this moment a life in the UK is meaningless, because there has not been a weekend go by in the last two years where a killing due to knife crime has not taken place. You cannot blame all these deaths on the underprivileged and the unemployed; it must run far deeper, because at the moment the UK is a savage country. Why am I asking this? Well at the moment a person that I know very well was stabbed three times and is very lucky to be alive, yes the unrest and knife culture has now found its way to the small villages in the UK.
