Amnesty: The Anti-Spate

A nationwide gun amnesty is to be held in the autumn, it was confirmed today after a spate of shootings in Dublin left five people injured...A similar move in the United Kingdom in 2003 was seen as highly successful with the handing in of 43,908 guns and over 1 million rounds of ammunition, according to figures from the British Home Office.
I guess that all depends on what your definition of "highly successful" is.

The Sinn Fein Rep. wants greater "community policing". Whatever happened to their slogan of "an ArmaLite in one hand, and a ballot in the other"?
