America’s Gun Culture

In addition to their wonderful NHS, in which every patient gets all the free medical care they want without any waiting periods or rationing, the British are leading the world in ridding from society the scourge of criminals having access to guns.

Teenage gangs in Liverpool are using the popular video-sharing website YouTube to flaunt their culture of violence and law-breaking, taunting each other, making threats, and showing off guns and cars, it emerged Friday.

The video clips have come to prominence following the murder on Wednesday of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, shot dead as he returned from football practice to his home in the well-to-do Croxteth Park area of the city.

On Friday, clips showing the activities of two gangs from the neighbouring Norris Green and Croxteth areas were still posted up on YouTube. Several arrests have been made following the murder but police are still looking for the killer, believed to be a teenager linked to the gangs.

In one clip, a youth can be seen pointing a gun to the camera. In another, an apparently bloodied victim is shown.

Hmm.  I’ll tell you one group in Liverpool which is guaranteed to be unarmed:  those who obey the law.  Don’t worry, though, those dangerous law-abiding citizens have been duly disarmed and are now utterly defenseless.  Surely the government will solve this problem by installing a few more CCTV cameras.
