Gun Control Myths

The anti-gun fools like to say that looser gun laws contribute to more crime. But empirical figures do not support that notion. Areas where gun laws are the tightest (like Chicago) see correspondingly high gun and other crime rates, while areas where gun laws are looser see a corresponding LOWERING of crime rates, including gun crime. They like to say violent crime is up because of slightly less tight gun laws, but that is a myth, too. Crime has been on the decline for decades, while they insist it is rising. Mass shootings are not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is ILLEGALLY-held guns and suicides, not mass shootings. Legally-owned guns are much more often used for lawful purposes than illegal purposes. Concealed carriers are NOT a problem, but may be part of the solution. These facts are “troubling” to the anti-gun fools, because they contradict everything they tell us. They think that, all you have to do is make a law against something, and it will “go away.” That people who break laws for a living will somehow OBEY their silly, unenforceable laws. They will not. That the way to self defense is to DISARM yourself. It is NOT. (Bearing Arms)
