No disrespect to wild, but I think he's in the wrong place to be advancing the gun control agenda. Maybe the brady campaign has a forum he can join!
John Lott studied 3054 U.S counties from 1979-1992, in all counties that allowed citizens to carry guns, the crime rate dropped. You also realize that if you take the segment of people with concealed carry permits as a whole, their crime rate is lower than the general population, their gun crime rate is almost non-existent. They are the most law abiding segment of the population in general.
If wild is advocating a NYC gun ban policy as an effective means of crime control in other U.S cities.....he is full of bull**** in my opinion.
Do you realize that the NYC registration law in 1979 led to confiscation in 1992. Do you realize that the 5th ammendment actually protects criminals from registering their guns!!! The U.S supreme court, in the 1968 case of U.S vs Haynes, ruled that was self-incrimination!! The only people that are punished by gun control are the law abiding honest citizens!! Do us a favor wild, go somewhere else and advocate the gun control bull****!!
The statement I made about Austrailia and England are etched in fact. Five years after England's gun ban went into effect, the armed robbery rate is up 53%. Explain that?? Do you think the criminal element is "turning in their guns". I seriously doubt it!! So how can gun control ever be an effective means of crime control?? It can't.!! England now has "disarmed" honest civilians, and ramant armed thugs running the street. Needless to say, they are paying the price for it. Gun ban's, gun control, gun registration, its all a phony, feel good crime control measure that does absolutely nothing, its all bull****.
Instead of prosecuting the guns, why don't we prosecute the guy behind the trigger?? What a concept!!
