It is a truth universally acknowledged that a mayor in possession of a problem must be in want of a policy. But not all policies are created equal, and almost none are as silly or as counter-productive as the one that London mayor Boris Johnson announced on Wednesday: Children will be barred from watching shooting events at the 2012 London Olympics.
The restriction is designed to help stem London’s rising gun-crime rate, and to prevent the “glorification” of firearms. But it is predicated upon a farcical misconception, best characterized by the secretary of the British Shooting Sports Council, David Penn. “There is no link between Olympic-level shooting and crime,” he argued. “It is like saying that a thief would use a Formula One car as a getaway car.

(Billy's Thoughts>>> The problem is not guns but how guns are used. The problem also goes deeper into culture too many kids in the UK and America are growing up in broken homes, and going to schools that don't teach right or wrong or that there is a God that has a good plan for their lives. This step is not going to stop kids from doing bad things it just will make those on the left feel good and it will keep a lot of good kids from seeing guns used in a good way.)
