Gun control works. almost every country except the United States is ample proof of that.
And there is a direct relation: The tighter the law, the lower the crime rate.
(e.g. Netherlands, Japan. )

Aside from the fact, that the gun control laws in the US are a better joke,
there is another reason: Dumb police.
Shining example of this week:
Sheriff Arpaio hired former employee, convicted child-sex criminal, for armed school “posse”

Quote:""Our own Jon Green wrote in December about how, following the Sandy Hook
Elementary massacre, GOP Sheriff Joe Arpaio was going to have his 3,000-strong
gun-toting “posse” of volunteers patrolling Arizona’s schools, just like the NRA wanted.

Today we find out that the posse reportedly included at least one man convicted of sex
crimes against children. And even worse, and what no one has apparently yet realized:
The convicted child sex criminal posse member worked for Arpaio for years in the
Sheriff’s office until he was arrested in 2009.

Armed child-sex criminals roaming Arizona’s schools. What could possibly go wrong?""

A local tv station was able to identify 60 convicted criminals out of 2000 members
of the 3000 head strong posse. And why was the sheriff's office unable to sort out
the crooks? When a tv station had no problem doing that.

With a police as dumb as this one, there is no surprise, that the crime rate is at this level.

Journal from  graafen http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3641213/ :

I've just received an email from the TV company TwoFour Broadcast. They want to do a TV special about fursuit sex for their "Body Shockers" TV show which is on E4.

DO NOT entertain these people. They may say that they want to " make sure that the community is represented favourably" but all they want is sensationalism.

Quote from the email: "We are ultimately after a fursuiter who also indulges in more adult activities whilst wearing the suit,"

Do not believe anything they say, they will take you and say "LOOK AT THIS FREAK! THEY WEAR COSTUMES THAT COULD BE AROUND YOUR CHILDREN!"

For the LOVE of whatever you hold dear, do NOT speak to these people.

Please please pass this around. Everyone in the UK fandom must know about this. Tweet it, blog it, let everyone know that they MUST stay away from TwoFour Broadcast.

Thank you.

Really, Don't talk to these TV-guys. Instead, make sure, that every UK-fur you know, knows, that these TV-Guys want only one thing: Seedy stuff, that pushes the ratings.
One Tyra Banks-Debacle is enough. I see no need for another one.
