But They'll Never Take Our Freedom?

There has been a fourfold increase in the number of people murdered with guns in Scotland. The number of homicides as a result of knives is also at its highest level on record.

The figures make grim reading for the Executive especially as there has been a raft of legislation to tackle gun and knife crime.
Hmmm.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED!

In the picture accompaning the article some of those firearms looked like SBR (short barreled rifles). Don't people know SBRs are illegal?

It's almost as if criminals have no respect for the law anymore...

Look at all those stocks that have been sawed off! I wonder if I could make a living selling collapsable stocks in Scotland.

First guns, then knives, I think we're all missing the REAL killer here... HANDS.

Stiff regulation and registration of all hands would surely prevent crime!

Now that they've banned guns they have to address "knife crime." I wonder how long it will be before that term gets used on this side of the lake.
