Actually, this is a well-written article, but the author ruins it by his disingenuous last sentence.
Gun crimes have been, in fact, decreasing as ownership has been increasing, and for a country with 300+million guns, their misuse is a statistically minuscule percentage.
Had he been honest and reflected that in his closing statement, this piece would have hit it on the screws - but he didn't; he just couldn't resist the liberal dig at the end. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
