Why is it, when a certain breed of dog attacks children, the government react swiftly & ban it! But when the "Gun" is being used as prolifically as it is, we still dont have any action?
Why cant we have "ZERO TOLERANCE" on Gun crime????
or is this just a way of the Government letting the problem sort itself out? The problem of inner city gangs/crime/poverty. Now teenagers & young adults are solving the problems by killing each other..... Its a sad sad Britain we live in today!

Sarah, the current "ban" on certain breeds of dogs pales into insignificance when you consider the illegality of guns and knives. The government cannot "act swiftly and ban" these weapons because they are already illegal!
Your suggestion that the government is doing nothing to counter gun crime is totally misguided. Not only are there specialist police forces and units to deal with knife and gun crimes (compared to the conspicuous lack of a "Pit-Bull Flying Squad", to use your pointless example again), but this government has used its powers as an appropriate legislative body to increase the mandatory sentences for both gun and knife crimes, in an attempt to put a "Zero-Tolerance" policy in place. In fact, the reason that so many offenders get away with minimal sentences is largely due to a failure of our judicial system to enforce the sentences demanded by the government and the penal system that allows a majority of prisoners to serve a much shorter sentence than the one that they orignally received.
