Guns & Crime in the news

Post by johno »

Gun crime has plunged in the United States since its peak in the middle of the 1990s, including gun killings, assaults, robberies and other crimes, two new studies of government data show.

Interesting in light of the increase in gun ownership & carry permits in that same period.

"More Guns, Less Crime" is not just a book title, it's a fact.
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
