We noticed you "snipped" that the above reveals a TWENTY-FIVE+ PERCENT
INCREASE of armed Peelers {AFOs) in Metro London ALONE.
Care to post the total increase in armed cops in the UK in the same
time period, Baxter?

Why did you leave Ireland out, Baxter? It's a part of the UK as well,
you know.
Does it screw up your propaganda numbers?

"Deflection": not just a way to block a slap-shot in hockey.
Home Invasions: US vs. UK
In which country is it more dangerous to be in your home, the US or
Great Britain? If you said Great Britain, you're right... if you're
talking about home-invasion robberies.
Violent home invasions have become a serious problem in the UK, fueled
in part by laws against gun ownership and violence in self-defense.
British law holds that a person who kills an intruder in their home
can be charged with murder; a self-defense argument does exist, but
the threshold is very high.
In the US, by contrast, burglars who commit home invasion
statistically have just as great a chance of getting shot as they do
going to jail -- a significant deterrent even when homeowners don't
own guns. If you're a burglar intent on committing a home invasion,
you don't know if the homeowner has a gun and an itchy trigger
finger... and you probably don't want to find out the hard way.
As a result, a movement is afoot in Great Britain to strengthen
homeowners' rights to self-defense. Efforts to loosen restrictions on
gun ownership, however, may still be a ways off.
How Britain resolves this issue will be of interest to other parts of
the world, especially where crime rates are high. It should also be
watched in the US, where we agonize over the consequences of our
Second Amendment rights. Certainly, if Britain makes changes and home
invasions decline, gun-rights advocates in the US will be able to show
that gun ownership has benefits, even for those who choose not to own
a firearm.

Here's a sign to place in your neighbor's front yard, Baxter:

Wonder whose house would be a "target" then? <chuckle> ;)

"Death" isn't the only factor in self-defense, Baxter.
Google "DGU" and see how many involving "death" you find.
Moreover, you are placing too much confidence in the propaganda of
Piers Morgan:

[...]
"How many gun murders where there in Britain last year? ...It's
actually 35 -- against 11,000 [in the U.S.]"
A video of clip from that interview, as well as a good debunking of
Morgan's statistics by Reality Check, can be found here:

[...]
"After a school massacre, the U.K. banned handguns in 1998. A decade
later, handgun crime had doubled."
Below is the total murder rate (not just "gun murders") in the UK for
the 14 years before and after the handgun ban. Do you see any
reduction in the rate associated with the ban? In fact, you see a
rapid rise in murders almost immediately following the ban. The
average for the 14 years prior to 1998 was 11.4 homicides per million;
the average for the 14 years since was 13.4 -- an 18% increase.

Source: UK Home Office Statistical Bulletin, Homicides, Firearm
Offences and Intimate Violence 2010/11 (Table 1.01)
From 1993 to 2011, the UK homicide rate rose 3.6% and the U.S. murder
rate dropped 51%. In that time, the UK enacted a handgun ban.
Conversely, the U.S. expanded Concealed Carry. More guns, less crime?

Wonder why this is true, Baxter:
"[T]he U.S. has 4 times more murders than the UK, but the UK has 5
times more violent crime than the U.S."
--Randall Hoven
Could it be because the criminal element in the UJ has nothing to fear
from its UNARMED and DEFENSELESS citizenry?

“Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of
the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's
too much of a public safety hazard don't see the danger in the big
picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use the
same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like.”
