It's wrong. He's not calling for laws. (he's not in the US either) He's calling for stricter enforcement.

Huh? I know that. I was using London as an example of how the U.S. could turn out, hence "slippery slope," etc. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Anyway, if gun control didn't work and people moved onto the next best option it will keep happening. Just saying London is a good example of what could be.

EDIT; ahhh I put "laws." I see. My bad. Point still stands though.

Relax. Can't happen. Nobody's coming to take your gun away. That 'slippery slope' stuff just sounds, well, dumb. Americans will always be allowed to have guns. Well, the one's the government allows to, anyway.
You sure, though? Sure you and your family might not be better off in London?

Of course it has something to do with guns laws -- it shows they are ineffective in stopping murder.

One European city, first time in history. Obviously they need more firearms in London to bring down the murder rate.

Compare intentional deaths. We still have much more

I thought dead was dead and intent didn't matter as long as it's a gun death.

EDIT: Didn't see the mod warning. I think my post is safe as it pertains to the topic, though. If not then I apologize.
