UK Chief Inspector COLIN GREENWOOD wrote his Firearms Control study at Cambridge University in 1971 .. and concluded that all of the multiple attempts to restrict British firearms ownership in the 20th Century were wholly futile as far as reducing crime.
I now have a copy of this book obtained from UK - that extensively & laboriously records the increasing criminal use of weapons and the Government's sequential attacks on the RIGHT to own and use firearms .. he dares to point-out that these restrictions are entirely class based and meant to remove arms from the lower classes.
1895: Mr CH Hopwood Parliamentary Member for South East Middleton: "To say that because there were some persons who would make violent use of pistols, therefor the right of purchase or possession by every Englishman should be taken away, is monstrous".
For 272 pages this serving Senior Police Officer reported his research findings ..
AND concludes in an Appendix devoted to the DEATH PENALTY - that it is the ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PUNISHMENT that is the root cause of the rising use of firearms by criminal gangs.
Politicians made ANOTHER wrong decision and won't back-up.
.. Here is a story I wrote three years ago about this issue ..

If people wish to control and reduce violent crime .. deal to the criminals.
Attempts to curtail basic human rights have a contra effect on violent crime.
We are being told lies & fed falsified figures to justify corrupt political decisions.
