Gun control laws don’t work. Never have, never will.<BR/><BR/>In 2004 thhe National Academy of Sciences issued a 328-page report based on 253 journal articles, 99 books, 43 government publications, a survey of 80 different gun-control laws and some of its own independent study. In short, the panel could find no link between restrictions on gun ownership and lower rates of crime, firearms violence or even accidents with guns. <BR/><BR/>The panel was established during the Clinton administration and all but one of its members were known to favor gun control. <BR/><BR/>Full report here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?isbn=0309091241<BR/><BR/>The Center for Disease Control mirrored these findings with their own stuy, whose conclusin was thus:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/rr5214a2.htm<BR/><BR/>“The Task Force found insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of any of the firearms laws or combinations of laws reviewed on violent outcomes.” End quote<BR/><BR/>What you have here is a faiure of doctrine….the facts don’t fit the narrative cherished by the anti-gun/gun control crowd.InFerroVeritashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13442876322343360965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087255956384270544.post-23660228153219516752007-08-23T07:00:00.000-07:002007-08-23T07:00:00.000-07:00Well, zach, you're nothing if not consistent. Gun ...Well, zach, you're nothing if not consistent. Gun control laws accomplish precisely jack squat in keeping guns out of the hands of "malicious crack kingpins," and if you had a shred of cognitive ability you would know it...or if you had a shred of honesty you would admit it. Malicious crack kingpins are criminals, and criminals don't obey laws.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780425923108876647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087255956384270544.post-67168987378329256862007-08-23T06:29:00.000-07:002007-08-23T06:29:00.000-07:00The laws are the same now as they were ten years a...The laws are the same now as they were ten years ago. What's the difference? Drops in police funding, more revolving door courts, and a recession. <BR/><BR/>Most "gun control" laws do nothing to control "guns" but just the people who want to legally own them.Thirdpowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886910076400873900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087255956384270544.post-52754655025594673652007-08-23T01:42:00.000-07:002007-08-23T01:42:00.000-07:00I understand that personal responsibility is cruci...I understand that personal responsibility is crucial here, but arguing<BR/>that lax gun control laws that have enabled dealers to flood urban areas with firearms have nothing to do with rising rates of gun violence just seems silly. How can making it more difficult for, say, malicious crack kingpins to get their hands on guns be a step in the wrong direction? I argue in my op-ed on the <A HREF="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zach-marks/give-them-uzis-and-watch-_b_61474.html" REL="nofollow">Huffington Post</A>today that while the way to get to the root of most social problems is to provide economic opportunity, it’s foolish to repeal gun control laws.
