The old problem of proving a negative- why have less crimes been committed? Maybe it's obama maybe it's that so many get welfare and food stamps- maybe it's that the thugs know more people have guns. Impossible to prove. The NRA uses FBI stats to say crime is down because of CC permits, the FBI will NOT say that- they work for the president and if they decided that was the case, they sure wouldn't report it while obama is in office.
We have the very good stats from countries that have banned guns, and saw that their crime rates went way up.
Guess all I;m saying is, it's pretty much common sense that when more law-abiding people have guns, and everybody knows it, crime will be reduced. But that thing about proving a negative is...

Unbiased opinions or facts? Sorry, no such thing. Anti gun folks will put their spin on the facts and pro gun will do the same, but will report the facts with less commentary.

John Lott has done a very good job of presenting the information without bias or commentary. I highly recommend his research and he's a very nice guy to communicate with if you're interested in contacting him.

I just read on today's AOL news where violent Crimes are up in the U.S.A. for the last 2 years,Regardless of what the FBI reports say. We can blame this on Obama also,But he will say that it's Bush's fault & that he inherited it.? RIGHT.?
