No Mean Citya finer book I have read. But it was a good book I just cannot remember a bloody thing about it due to my ongoing senility, raving lunacy issues and gargantuanion-hmm why is the not a word of my man parts.
No Mean City is a 1935 novel by H. Kingsley Long, a journalist, and Alexander McArthur, an unemployed worker. It is an account of life in the Gorbals, a run-down slum district of Glasgow (now mostly demolished, but re-built in a contemporary style) with the hard men and the razor gangs.
The Warriors Trailer Caaan you dig it - he says in voice of timbre.
Guns kill - end of story - there is no counter argument for their prolific ownership in America and the chaos and plethora (even that word does not do the carnage justice)souls they depart from this mortal coil do you actually believe they can get accurate figures from America regarding Gun death & violence - hmm
But here is curious story that made me laugh and weep. Guns in the US: The statistics behind the violence
Nuggets from the not tall tale
1. The home front: So many people die annually from gunfire in the US that the death toll between 1968 and 2011 eclipses all wars ever fought by the country. According to research by Politifact, there were about 1.4 million firearm deaths in that period, compared with 1.2 million US deaths in every conflict from the War of Independence to Iraq. Just deaths mind.
I could go on a cite wiki stats - I wept the first time I looked at them and made my first reply to a guns thread where some clown rambled incoherent nonsense. And I enquired many things eg why he needed so many guns if he had but two hands and wondered why he thought people killed people not the actual gun. And if was true if I could purchase a bazookah, sherman tank 4 pack muffins at his local store and a mace so I could reprogram him, rigorously vigorously.
Where gun ownership is more readily accessible, easy to get etc then Death rates are higher last time I checked 40 fold higher than in the UK..true sameish legal system.. I like when someone cites the second amendment, fails to mention the patriot act spying on everyone - a rampant paranoia that surpassed the Soviets of old and that awful book War and Peace not that I got past page 60 on account of my brain leaving my head at the hurryup and in the manner known as violent.
More than one link is an investment of my time...I pretty much think none on here, or any other thread, anywhere, will change their minds-saves those who unfortunately experience it first hand.
here is a better link, wicked second favourtie clip of all time who can name his first - or does noone pay attention to his mad rambles? as I find my post depressing, pointless futile, factually accurate and with a few smiles. And some previous, and latter no doubt, points of view invalid and nonsensical, with so many omissions

Fu*kity me they just dont make TV like that nowadays
Did Steve need a fu*king tommy gun to defeat a robotic Alien sasquatch
No he did not
Muffin edit as I feel quantity of souls is omitted
Wiki page
Annual gun deaths in America perhaps 40 000 per year - I have never been able to glean an accurate figure....→ More than 100,000 people in America are shot in murders, assaults, suicides & suicide attempts, accidents, or by police intervention. 31,537 people die from gun violence: ✓ 11,583 people are murdered. ✓ 18,783 people kill themselves. is surprised you still have a population

KNIVES KILL end of story!
Tories blasted over police cuts as wave of violent crime hits the UK

The rise in gun and knife crime puts more pressure on Home Secretary Theresa May who has slashed budgets for cops by a quarter since 2010
The chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales has slammed Tory budget cuts after shocking new crime figures were revealed.
Steve White’s comments add to pressure on Home Secretary Theresa May , after it was reported that knife attacks surged by almost 10 per cent last year.
Murders rose 14 per cent and gun crime rose for the first time in almost a decade.
Official stats showed there were 27,487 stabbings and other knife crimes across England and Wales in the year to September 2015 – the equivalent of 529 every week.
Steve White said: “These figures show an alarming rise in recorded crime - which is what we have been saying all along.
“There were 1.3 million violent incidents in England and Wales in the last year, and yet the police service is currently operating with 17,000 fewer officers than five years ago.”
The figures, from the Office for National Statistics, showed cases of attempted murder with a knife surged 24 per cent last year, while threats to kill increased 20 per cent. Firearms offences increased 4 per cent.
The annual figures also show the total number of cases of violent crime soared by a staggering 27 per cent, while sexual offences rose 36 per cent.
Mrs May has also forced cops to reduce their use of stop and search, which has brought her into direct conflict with Scotland Yard chief Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe.
He warned last year: “If we are getting to the stage where people think they can carry knives with impunity, that can’t be good for anyone.” [UK - Totalitarian Police state]
At the time the Home Secretary accused him of a “knee-jerk reaction”.
“The first duty of any Government is the safety and security of our citizens.
Not surprising they had to ban guns and soon knives in a country of barbarians.
Soon you will need a license to play baseball because a baseball bat is a weapon of mass destruction. Likewise 2x4, brooms, screwdriver, on the heels of full amputation. Only the state is or should be allowed to have limbs.
