No Anon, but si..."Did I say a city?"<br /><br /> No Anon, but since it didn't work in the cities that banned handguns, there is no reason to believe it would work on a larger scale, not counting the fact that laws supporting gun rights isn't even going in the direction of a total ban. <br /> Even the gun control lobby has had to rethink its goals in its early years of total bans of handguns. And of course, that was all pre-Heller.ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-60594045616971331452015-09-03T11:55:13.619+02:002015-09-03T11:55:13.619+02:00Did I say a city?

Well, you certainly cant fault the author for tap dancing around what he believes. And you cant fault Vox, since they are quite up front on their very neat charts that they leave out countries that would interfere with the clean symmetry of their message. <br /> The problem is that there isn't a whole lot of clean symmetry when you're dealing with people. Banning handguns has been tried and not only did it fail to reduce crime, such levels of restrictions seemed to result in areas of very high violent crime rates. Then of course, there was the issue of such laws being unconstitutional.<br /> Lets leave off with some opposing wisdom,<br /><br />"An unarmed man can only flee from evil,<br />and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it." <br /> ---Jeff Cooperssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.com
