Cops shot in Brussels...but...they have gun control..right?

In the on going look into the gun culture of Europe.......their criminals have guns......and they use them...they just don't kill each other as often.........they apparently shoot at police though...

Shots Fired At Police In Brussels During Search Linked To Paris Attacks

A police spokeswoman originally said one police officer had been injured slightly in today’s raid, which included French police officers, but that number has now risen to four. Three were wounded by gunfire during the initial raid, one during the police mobilisation which followed.

Earlier it was thought two suspects were on the run after the incident and a Kalashnikov was used in the shooting, as the Derniere Heure newspaper reported. It has since been reported that police sources say one suspect has been “neutralised”, meaning killed, but a further two still remain at large. Although identification has not been published, it has been confirmed the dead man is not Abdeslam.

The criminals and terrorists in Europe really like to use fully automatic weapons....a cultural preference, where American thugs like to use hand guns....

Haha Euro cops are getting militarized now.

Firearm death rate U.S.: 10.54/100K

Firearm death rate Belgium: 1.82/100K

Any questions?

Interesting. Yes....Belgiums gun deaths are much lower. They're a much smaller country with MUCH different demographics.

But you know what size/demographics are more comparable to Belgium? Utah. Massachusetts. Connecticut.

Utah: 0.9
Massachusetts: 2.0
Connecticut: 2.7
Belgium: 1.82

Hmmm. Combine those 3 states and their population/demographics/gun murder rate are about identical to Belgium.

WHY IS THAT?

Any questions?

Considering they have strict civilian disarmament laws in Belgium, why isn't the number zero?

What do you think?

Criminals don't obey the laws in the first place. Disarming citizens that aren't criminals makes no sense when guns are easy to buy on the black market and make in a basement.

Do you really want to compare the gun violence rate of Belgium to the US?

Do you think it's good if a country has more guns than people?

 

[Skylar]

Criminals don't obey the laws in the first place. Disarming citizens that aren't criminals makes no sense when guns are easy to buy on the black market and make in a basement.

Oh, obviously. That's why the gun violence rate in Belgium is 5, 6 times higher than than here, where we have more guns.

Oh, wait.

 

[Steven_R]

We also have all kinds of cultural issues to go with them. Not to mention all the violence that comes with a black market drug trade.

Why should John Q. Public be disarmed just because Pookie gets blasted by Tyrone over some rock?

Oh, wait.

Utah has FAR more guns and far fewer gun laws. It's gun murder rate is 1/2 that of Belgium. Explain.

Belgiums size and demographics are VERY different from ours.

However....compare our states (similar in size to Belgium) who have similar demographics to Belgium.....and the rates are identical.

Hmmmmmm......why?

Why are you afraid to use the "N" word? Why do you pussy out over attacking the groups you hate?

 

[Steven_R]

A) I hate everyone.
2) Skin color doesn't enter into it. It's cultural, not biological.
Third) Because if it is biological, that means the KKK is right and blacks and Hispanics can't control themselves and need to be controlled. I don't agree with that at all.

EXCELLENT POINT

It isn't race. It's cultural and behavioral. Skin color doesn't predetermined ones tendency to commit crime. But culture does.

Becsuse if biology is what causes it....fuck....we have a whole can of worms society cannot open.

Meanwhile here in the US cop shootings seem to be a daily event.

An interesting study on this subject.

Any questions?

And as you still fail to realize....criminals in Europe get fully automatic weapons easily....grenades too....they simply don't murder each other as often as our criminals do....

Since these guys obviously had fully automatic weapons...what stopped them from going to a public place and murdering people? Not gun laws...since they already had the guns.....

What stopped them...bad luck for them...they waited too long and were caught....so dumb luck, not gun laws, kept a mass shooting from happening.
