Hi.. thanks for clearing it up for me.. yes guncrime may have risen in the
past three years , but this is due mainly to yardie style drug "hits"
This is differnet to saying all crime has increased, also you seem to assume
that with guns still available , gun crime would be lower, I don't think so!
Only today a member os the "So Solid Crew", a pop band was sentenced to 18
months in jail for just carrying a gun.
This is much more complicated, as Erin has already pointed out.
