"But with the equivalent of one gun crime every hour in Britain, official figures show the problem has more than doubled in Leeds in the last six years.
'Every incident of gun crime has a critical effect on communities. We are never complacent about it,' said Mr Bullock, head of the West Yorkshire force's community safety department."
They're not complacent, because you have to
care to be complacent.
'The British police service still enjoys, compared to other countries, high levels of public confidence. Again there’s no room for complacency, there have been blips, and we need to tackle that.'
Blips. That's what the rising rate of gun crime in the UK is since they banned firearms. But they have public confidence. I wonder - exactly in what does the UK public have confidence? That they'll be a victim of gun crime?
But across England and Wales the number of gun crimes have doubled since 1997 with 10,000 incidents a year.
And the number of incidents in West Yorkshire is rising year-on-year, according to the force’s annual reports.
There were more than 2,145 incidents involving firearms in the county in 2003/4, up from 2,041 the year before and more than double the 947 recorded incidents in 1998/99.
Colin Cramphorn, chief constable of West Yorkshire Police, said the murder of Pc Broadhurst had overshadowed a “challenging year” for the force.
There ya go, folks. Gun control works! Just ask the armed criminals who can act without fear. They love it.
