If only we had gun control like in the UK. If only the US stopped being beholden to those "gun nuts" and we passed common sense sensible gun outlawing like in Europe. How's that working out?
Jo Cox, a young Labour member of the British parliament, died Thursday after being shot and stabbed repeatedly on the street in a village in northern England where she was meeting with local constituents.
The 41-year-old mother of two was left bleeding on the pavement in Birstall, 200 miles north of London. She was airlifted to a local hospital where she died about an hour after the shooting. A 77-year-old man was injured in the incident.
Controllers will of course point out that the rate of gun violence in the UK is lower. However that's made up for with all the stabbings, which in this case combined both.
Gun control doesn't actually stop murders. Turning an entire country into a gun free zone doesn't mean you won't get murdered. Whether by a knife or even by a gun.
