Ridding the East End of Guns! (It’s easy as 1, 2, and 3)

The main stream media and our Prime Minister appear very concerned about the recent spate of shootings in London. Let’s all get together and drive out these unwanted weapons of aggression.

Oh Yes!
Oh Yes!

see and do
see and do


1. Get the local police (community relations department) to endorse a new community led campaign against guns. Let’s call it GOOEE (Guns Out Of the East End), make sure you get your mug shot in the local rag, handshakes and all that. Next contact local businesses and organisations in the area (i.e. ‘Toys R Us’ and the ‘Excel’ conference centre) and ask them to support GOOEE. Make sure you get everyone to agrees a Zero tolerance on Guns.

2. Get a large plastic wheelie bin and roll it up to the door of your local toy store. Grab all the toy guns off the shelves, skip the check out and place the guns into the bin for disposal. Should any toy shop assistant protest at your actions you should remind then of their support for GOOEE and zero tolerance of guns. Should the shop assistants be tempted to call the police you can tell them “it’s pointless their on our side in the fight against Guns!”

3. When your community is next invaded by an international arms fair (i.e. Dsei in September 2007  http://www.dsei.org ) Remind your local community partners (the Excel centre) of their zero tolerance of Guns. Remember “Monkey see Monkey do”

Okay the Gun problem may not be totally solved yet but you are well on your way.

The answer is not about gun ownership but about who owns them. Give guns to white middle class local residents and then see how many black drug dealers still carry them

Compare American and Swiss society. The Swiss have more guns per man than the Americans.

It is difficult and expensive to make a good pistol. Blair banned them, Britons can no longer train in the UK for that Olympic Sport.

Those who believe that everyone has a duty to be armed and skilled in the use of arms had to answer Blair's confiscatory ban with illegal maunifacture of their own. It is easy to make a fully automatic pistol, it is the single shot repeaters most people call automatics that are difficult.

Blair is getting what he deserves. Pity the kids are using them for gang warfare. There are better targets.

Though some shooters have abandoned that responsibility of being able to kill individually in defence. They have gone on to develop indiscriminate weapons of mass extermination as the only remedy for a totally corrupt and degenerate Society like this one. The question is- will they perfect their weapons in time to save us?
