      People in the USA seem to think if they ban guns, murders will magically drastically drop.

          Stop that - I'm not supposed to agree with you, remember!?!?!?!

                  Obviously the Brits need to enact strict gun control laws so this can be stopped. After they get rid of the guns the homicide rate will plummet -- or so some around here insist.

                    So are you saying that if Londoners had access to firearms the city would be virtually depopulated due to all the murders?

                          The liberals here in the USA are against police too.

                              When people have a tendency to equate the actions of a handful with all police, that can certainly be seen as "anti-police."
