Gun Control Article

Here's something you will not see in our newspapers. Click and Read There's only one way to protect ourselves. I'm pretty shocked that it showed up in the UK.

"For a long time it has been possible to draw a map of the United States showing the inverse relationship between liberal gun laws and violent crime. At one end of the scale are the "murder capitals" of Washington, Chicago and New York, with their gun bans (New York City has had a theoretical general prohibition of handguns since 1911); at the other extreme, the state of Vermont, without gun laws, and with the lowest rate of violent crime in the Union (a 13th that of Britain)."

They should have checked their facts first. "Blue State" NYC is ranked 19th out out of the 21 largest cities in the US. Coming in at number one, the most deadly? New Orleans.
