    Default Serious Question - Gun Related Crime

    How many gun related crimes are there in Sunderland and Newcastle each year?

    Houston has shootings and crimes everyday, a guy was held up at gunpoint outside my local supermarket at 10am on a Saturday morning the other week. My other half is now starting to freak a bit at all the gun crime now that we have a baby and she is getting more panicky when it happens on your doorstep.....oh aye there was a lass shot dead about her age in the next street a couple of months ago. No apparent motive and nobody caught. We live in a so called nice area but the gun crime in this city is mental.

    No idea but I'm guessing there's not much in Sunderland and Newcastle.

    There's the odd incident in Leeds but it doesn't seem like a huge problem here. Largely confined to Chapeltown and Sheepscar.

    That's cos you live in the ghetto Madarse. Everyone knows only plebs, junkies and scratters live to the east of Augusta Street!

    Very low in the North East. Especially actual shootings. One or two shootings a month in the Northumbria force area maybe?

    There's a fair bit here but it's kept out of the decent areas and in 'da hood' mainly. You would never hear of anything in the eastern suburbs. You would be surprised to hear of an incident in the inner west but by the time you get out to the western suburbs it's a daily occurance. Bikie gangs and the ethnic gangs.

    Police carry firearms here but there is no 'gun culture' like the states really. I.e. seemingly normal people owning a firearm.

    The hold up was at HEB at the bottom of Fountainview just down from yours and the killing was at the junction of Augusta and San Felipe!

    Aye, it's real ghetto here

    Are you about for the footie on Friday?

    Not a peep in Roker like and i've lived here all my life. Maybe you should move away.

    We don't really do guns in Sunderland.

    Apart from the odd airgun incident, I'd say very, very low.

    Yes, that's all gang related. Normal people don't have guns.
