Last night on the late news, they did a piece about how the violent crime rate involving firearms had actually gone up 10 percent since the UK had enacted their total handgun ban. They showed handguns that had been confiscated being destroyed by being chopped in half by some kind of a press. It was pleasant surprise to say the least. The piece lasted several minutes and was very fair. After telling us how the handgun ban had backfired they talked about how some people over there are wanting to go even further and ban air pistols like pellet guns "just to be on the safe side."
The only negative parts were at the end where they did some "man on the street" type of interviews. A couple of soccer moms were saying how much nicer it is to live in the UK than it would be to live in America, because over here you don't have to worry about kids taking guns to school and so forth.
We all need to thank Fox 4 news for doing such an outstanding job!
