Gun crime op extended

An operation to rid Birmingham?s streets of guncarrying gangs is to be extended indefinitely, the man in charge of the offensive said yesterday.

Despite a number of recent high-profile shootings, including one involving a taxi driver who chased after a stolen car in Nechells, West Midlands Police said it was pleased with the impact of Operation Dulverton.

The initiative, which involved extra officers being drafted in to carry out high-profile patrols in hotspot areas of Birmingham and armed road checks, began five weeks ago.

They've got it bad in the British Isles. This is what happens when you try to ban firearms; the bans don't work, people who want the weapons can still get them, and the police become steadily more authoritarian and brutal in their efforts to stamp out the "gun problem" while your civil rights disappear.
