Dr. Zubov at Banter in Atlanter has posted an entry worth reading that discusses a possible relationship between lifting gun restrictions and a decline in gun violence.
Well, more than nine months have passed and the first crime numbers are in. Last week, the FBI announced that the number of murders nationwide fell by 3.6% last year, the first drop since 1999. The trend was consistent; murders kept on declining after the assault weapons ban ended.”
I personally think it’s too early to throw out statistics, I think you need a few years to track a trend like this effectively. But hey, if I ran the world, you’d be able to have any weapon your government was permitted to have.
