A schoolboy was arrested and questioned on suspicion of murder yesterday after a teenager was stabbed to death outside a birthday party in South London. In the latest outbreak of violence in the capital, Wesley Sterling, 16, suffered fatal chest wounds during the attack in Croydon. The killing followed earlier clashes at a nearby sports club when a group of people tried to gatecrash a 16th birthday party.

If the reason for gun control laws is to reduce violence and crime, the laws don’t work. How about treating the problems and not the symptom (guns)?
I am NOT saying UK should get rid of their gun control laws. But people here in the US look at the UK national gun control laws and think national gun control laws in the US would totally solve all crime and violence. These posts show they wouldn’t stop the violence and crime.
Having a gun will not make you go out and commit a crime.
Having a gun will not make you go out and kill your ex-girlfriend.
If you want to commit a crime, you will but a gun makes it easier.
If you want to commit a crime, gun control laws will not stop you.
If you want to kill your ex-girlfriend, you will try but a gun will make it more likely.
