    They generally only shoot each other though, win win.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Yes, because criminals only rob other criminals.

        When they were raiding the jewellers etc they preferred to use axes and hammers simply because if they get caught, they get a few more years for a robbery with a firearm thrown in.

          In the UK almost all gun crime is gang related, they shoot each other.

            Luckily for him he's in his second term.

              Papa says it's safe:

              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                I can see a theme.

                What about when they don't?

                  What about BBC News - Men jailed for life for Thusha Kamaleswaran shop shooting - a shooting in a south London shop which left a five-year-old girl paralysed.

                      I never said they shoot each other exclusively, ideally there aren't any guns and no-one gets shot.

                      Sorry... my mistake, I need to be more explicit when posting on here.
